Looking for great speakers for my PC, I am not finding much, no surprise there.
Has anyone ever built these?

I've been working with the Tang Band W3-871S and I believe it makes an outstanding computer speaker for low $. Creative Sound Solutions has kits available that are a snap to build. You'll need an amp for them though. There's good solutions available for that too. Let me know if you want some recommendations for that also. The TB's don't need much power.
I built the Decware panels. As Steve says in his writeup, they are excellent at revealing small subtle detail. The sound was better than the Cambridge Soundworks satelites that they replaced.
My next project was using Jordan JX92s (also bought from Creative Sound Solutions). The design is a stretched version of Jim Griffin's design that won the Atlanta DIY a couple of years back. These are so much better than the panels that the latter have fallen into disuse.
A bit pricey for computer speakers and of course require an amp. I built an AKSA55. Overkill for computer use but this is my main listening area.
The Tangbad suggestion is probably a very good one. Good value. And Bob at Creative Sound is good to deal with.

small amps
I thought this was an interesting solution for an internal PC amp. The THD doesn't look to be the greatest but for what it is I'm sure it's better than most PC audio amps. Another small DIY amp is available from Velleman. I picked it up through Qkits. It drives the TB's nicely.
Sorry about the missing link Mr. Leaky. Here it it.
