Speakers for computer?

R. Ticle
Hmmm, I do still enjoy listening to some music while I'm on the
computer, or compiling tracks for mp3/CD - however, I'm averse to
using headphones for this, as they probably pick up all of RFI from
the PC, and act like an antenna overall -

does anyone have any recommendations for good sounding, inexpensive,
fairly accurate speakers which wouldn't put out a big EMF/AC/RF field
(certainly less than headphones right on my head)?

I was looking at something like these:

Or these:

Both are "magnetically shielded" - I understand that probably just
means shielded strictly magnetically, not electromagnetically, so as
to avoid wiping out data and making rainbow colors on monitors, but
still...

Any advice or personal experience with anything that anyone has would
be great. Thanks!

R.

I use Cambridge Soundworks MicroWorks II, which has a subwoofer plus
two speakers, and sounds good to me. I don't get the impression that
any speaker system bothers me nearly as much as the computer monitor.
Headphones however can be problematic, although my Grado SR60's
aren't too bad.
