5.1 Speakers

Hi, guys!

I want to get some new 5.1 speakers and I was looking for surround sound. I don't know exactly how I'd set them up in my room. There are some expensive speaker stands I could buy but that's out of the question for my budget setup.

I would hate to set the speakers in the floor. How are PC speakers usually set up? Since the PC isn't in the center of the room I don't think mounting them on the walls would work, plus I'd hate to have wires going all over the place.

Thanks for any advice.
