Need a new speaker system for Xbox 360 and Computer...any suggestions?

Question

Mine recently died and I'm looking for a new one. The one I have in my living room is nice, and is a 5.1 system with RCA connections to connect items to it, but I can't seem to find one like that anywhere. All of them seem to use 3.5mm jacks instead, and though that would work, my PC only has onboard audio, and I hate to pay for a 5.1 system and only be able to use the front speakers. Also, all of those seem to only have one connection, and I used to hate having to unplug my computer and plug in my Xbox, and vice versa, everytime I switched between the two. Anyway, I would like to find one that's like the one in my living room. A 5.1 system, with two or more RCA inputs instead of 3.5mm inputs. Thanks!

It really depends on how much you want to spend. You could go with an actual home theater system with big speakers that could cost $1,000's or HTIB that's under $1,000. You could also go with any of the Logitech HT PC speakers and use their game system adapter that converts the 3.5mm to RCA plugs. All the 3.5mm plus do is carry two sound channels which the converter then splits into individual RCA jacks.
