Since they was invented, the computers had developed constantly. Many years ago they were very big and unpractical, and also were not doing so many things. But today they had become state-of-the-art devices capable of many and complex operations. There are different things you can do at a computer, for example you can work, watch a movie, play a video game and also listen to music. And for almost all these activities you will need some sound so that's why there were invented the computer speakers. First they were also unpractical devices, integrated on the main board, and capable of less power and quality.

Along with the development of the computers, the speakers also had a great rise in quality. Now you can find speakers in many sizes, shapes, prices and also in better or not so good sound quality. You can choose between buying some individual speakers or an audio system. Depending on the number of their speakers, there are different types: the 2.1 system (made of 2 speakers and a subwoofer), the 5.1 systems (which are composed of a center channel, a subwoofer and four satellite speakers), and also the 7.1 systems which are having 2 more extra speakers than the 5.1 systems. When buying this kind of system you will have to be careful at the speakers arrangement recommended by the producer.

There are great feelings that you can have using a surround system (for example the feeling of someone being behind you, or attacking you from your left side) but for these you will have to respect the arrangement suggested. The subwoofers render the deeper and lower sound frequencies, and they will also give you some great feelings when playing a powerful song, or watching a movie. The center channels usually give the high range sounds, for example the voices of singers in a concert or actors in a film, so all of these components are completing each other. So if you are looking for an intense audio experience, then buy a surround sound system, but if you just want some small and simple speakers, get a stereo system (2 small speakers). Like we said before the speakers these days come in a big variety of shapes and sizes. So if you are a fan of the gothic style, if you  like movies and books about dragons, dungeons, Harry Potter and stuff like that, there are some very cool speakers that you can buy. These are the Gargoyle computer speakers, and they look like this:

Pretty cool image, right? Just imagine how they will look on your desk, or in your bookshelf. They are just perfect for a fan of the gothic style, and also  for a Halloween party. They are very unique, so you won't have to worry that someone else has speakers exactly like you. They are made out of cold cast resin, and they  have some excellent details, presenting a very realistic image of a gargoyle on top of a castle wall. The details even present the striations from the gargoyle's wings or individual stones on the walls of the castle.

These speakers are from the category of USB computer speakers. This means that they have just one cable, which is both for audio signal and power. So they won't need any batteries or outlet to plug in. Just connect them to your USB port from the computer or laptop, and enjoy. The dimensions for these speakers are: 7 inches in height, 5 inches in width and 3 and a half inches in deep. The volume and power can be adjusted from a chrome plated volume know, which is situated on the back of one speaker. To make the gothic feeling even more pronounced and to make the gargoyles look scary, one of the speakers features some LED indicators. These are red, and they are situated exactly in the eyes of one the gargoyles. So when the speakers are turned on, his eyes will glow in a scary red light. Just imagine your room in  a complete dark, with only the eyes of the gargoyle glowing.

If you are interested in the technical details of the Gargoyle computer speakers, here they are: Drive Unit: 2.25", speaker diameter - 4 Ohms, 3 watts Input connector: USB Output: 2W x 2 Frequency Range: 120 Hz - 18 KHz Distortion: <0.3% Impedance: 4 Ohms. So they are not quite powerful speakers, but the design makes all the money. Talking about the money, the price is somewhere around 50 dollars. They are a perfect gift for any fan of the gothic style. You can use them in a small room, if you want to listen to some quiet music or watch a movie. When you are using them at a Halloween party, you might want to complete them with some more speakers, to have an appropriate volume and sound quality. But the design will make everyone happy. We are not sure if you can find them in stores, but you can definitely buy them from the internet. You will find them on auction sites like ebay.com or amazon.com, and they will be delivered in a few days, directly to your home.
