Where can I find a lot of different PC Speaker reviews?
I'm trying to find the best for around 150-200 Bucks.
All I've been able to find are reviews of
Logitec Z-2300
Klipsch ProMedia 2.1
HarmonCardon SoundStix Stix II
Altec Lansing MX 5021
I'm pretty sure there are many more in that price range but just can't find available reviews of them.
They aren't for me but I will use them at times so I want something that is decent and can handle it being cranked it up a bit.There will be classic rock, heavy metal, and even stuff like Willie Neslon ran through them.

I have used a ZVOX 315 (http://yhst-9301186439366.stores.yahoo.net/zvonstsosysi.html) for several years with good results. It also makes a good portable stereo. All you need is a source.

I had the ProMedia 2.1 and was really pleased with them. I got them to replace an Acoustic Authority A-3780 (also a 2.1 system) that,while I was happy with the control switch went on the fritz and I was unable to fix.
The Klipsch became redundant when I finally got my JBL's refoamed and hooked ny soundcard into my main system. I wouldn't hesitate in getting them again. They had enough power to fill up a room and had a good range to them

I have read a few reviews of this thing and they all are good. Does it actually fill the room the way they say?
My recommendation would be to get a regular T-amp/AR TDS 202 and a pair of Insignia speakers at Best Buy (total cost is around $100). If they are too large, then I would recommend the Presidian speakers from Radio Shack.
I have the highly regarded THX Logitech Z-680s in my computer system and they are nice for surround-sound movies, but I have had the T-amp and used Pinnacle PN5+s hooked up to the same computer and it blows away the Z-680s on music. I am thinking about hooking up the T-amp with a cheap pair of speakers (like the Presidians) permanantly to this computer and having both options available.
