Default DIY speakers for computer?

I have a pair of 'computer speakers' hooked up to my computer.
Sound-wise the are OK since I don't ask much from them (if I
really want to listen I go to my living room and its audio
equipment) but they are butt-ugly. So, I thought, why not
build a pair that looks better and sound better? I am not
looking for anything really fancy since I am not prepared
to spend serious money or a lot of time on this.

I have looked around a little (!) for candidate designs but
haven't come across anything really interesting yet. The best
candidate to date is:

A bit on the large side but about right when it comes to
the level of ambition and cost (judging from the price of
the Fostex FE103).

Anyone have any suggestions? (apart from telling me this is
a silly project - I already think so myself)

It can be a great advantage to yourself, especially if you know
how to design. Fitting a system that looks good and fits into
you situation is ideal. Unfortuanately it takes time and effort.
I don't think I've run into designs especially for computers, but
its almost mandatory to have a subwoofer, along with small
satilites. I found the need to create my own center
channel home theater speaker when I could not find what
I was looking for.
