Well usually pc type speaker set ups like the Klipsch Cinema 6 aren't going to be recommended around here for a home theater set up.

I guess I would just consider what you are looking to accomplish here. Do you do a lot of PC gaming? Is it mostly for listening to music? Do you really need 5.1?

Also, considering that you are in a dorm, I am guessing that you have to be careful with the volume at times.

For my PC I use a separate set up from Cambridge Sound Works. Something like this would be ideal and pretty reasonable at $299:

Or you could go with this for $100 less if you don't really need the 5.1:

I am not sure about hooking up a PC speaker system to a television. I mean, you don't usually run a receiver with these types of systems, they plug straight into your sound card. So, if you are looking for a nice speaker system that will be used with a receiver and stuff, I would just stay away from these PC type speaker systems and go with a set of nice book shelf speakers.
