Star Wars R2-D2 Speakers

Taito shapes audio speakers into the likeness of R2-D2 and adds another "must have" product for the über fan who has everything remotely related to the Star Wars franchise. The R2-D2 speaker measures 12cm or 4.72" tall and connects to a laptop computer or MP3 player by way of standard 3.5 mm stereo plug. The preorder solicitation doesn't mention if a USB cable can be used to draw power from a laptop but we'll update this information once we receive the speakers and test them. Preorders are welcome to ship in mid-late December 2007 at US$20 per speaker. Please purchase "2" if you want a matching pair.

Is there any reason why these speakers wouldn't work in a Mini Tower PC with a sound board? It seems strange to say they would only work with a laptop or mp3 player.

I agree... they should work with a tower. I also find it odd that they are sold as singles; speakers are usually sold in pairs.
