Default Looking for good 2.0 setup

Im looking for a decent 2.0 setup for the office. I was moved to a new cube where the monitors have the speakers built into it. Since my old monitors did not I had to leave them there.

So Im looking for something under $50. Nothing fancy but better than the crappy monitor speakers.

Creative's T10 2.0 speakers is under $50 at many etailers or B&M stores($42-45 at Fry's and Amazon).
I used it before I got the Klipsch ones I have now, the T10 is pretty solid for a 2.0 setup.
