: Till recently a 15” monitor was the standard for a PC. Courtesy the falling prices of display units, a 17” or a 19” monitor is the norm these days and soon you will see that the 22” monitor has become the standard. But the display panels of these proportions also encroach a lot of real estate on already cluttered computer tables. What if you are already suffering with this space shortage and still want to buy a state of d’art speaker system but don’t know where will you be able to place them for true acoustic pleasure?

Bose, one of the world leaders in audio solutions, have come out with just the right product to resolve your dilemma provided you have the ‘bursting at the seams’ wallet.

That means you can also connect it to your laptop, iPod, any PMP device, TV or even some cell phones that come with 3.5mm audio socket and rock the world with your music.
