I have two RCA male plugs (audio) from a video game console that I need to run through a computer and eventually out through the speakers. How do I accomplish this? Or am I better off trying to buy a stereo system of sorts?

go to radio shack they will have the cable you need, its not an obscure request

Will do, thanks.

Is this what I'm looking for?

yup. its the same cable that would go from the computer to the stero although male RCA buds might be better

Well, the audio coming from the console is male so I don't want to buy male and a gender changer on top of that. Speaking of which, I just might have a stereo 3.5 to male RCA around here somewhere in the huge wire tangle in the drawers of my desk. I'm also looking at grabbing a set of Logitech z5500 speakers, but I don't know if they would be compatible with my Creative X-Fi XtremeMusic sound card (which is the card I plan on running my console audio through. Speaking of that, do I need special software to do that or can I just put the console audio through line in and the speakers through the speaker jack and have it work? I'm not really too knowledgeable when it comes to audio. (the Logitechs can also take optical audio! )

Use Mouser Electronics, or one of the other electronics venders; Radio Shack will rape you with ridiculously high prices. The shack people have lost their fucking minds

No offense intended nostra-YOUPPI!
The shack isn't what it used to be in the US anyway.

Yeah it is getting BAD. They charge $1 for a capacitor that should be 15 cents or less. If I were buying all my electronics for my microcomputer there, I would be paying nearly $100 more than I am right now.

unfortunately, they are about all I have. I try to get most cables online though. Got a set of 3 high quality TOSLinks for 92% off. Paid 15 bucks total for em with shipping.

Lovely, now I just have to familiarize myself with the terminology of electronics to find what I need.

The ones down here are pretty worthless if your not in the market for a phone, cell phone, or cell phone accessories Good as gone.
