If it's gonna be a computer set-up in a small area you should go with the 2.1 but if it's in a large area and involves TV watching or a lot of movie watching than I recommend you get the 5.1's. 5.1 is obviously a better buy than a 2.1, as it will give you better sound and more sound from more angles than a 2.1, but it’s all up to how much room you have.

If you have a typical rectangular desk, I'd go with a 2.1 system for sure, since you say you can't put any speakers behind you. I have an L-shaped corner workstation desk, so if you have one of those, you could put the left/right front speakers right next to your monitor and put the surround speakers at the extreme edges of your desk, maybe angled toward your chair position. It wouldn't be ideal, but it might work well enough. See Source(s) for an image that is very similar to my desk to see what I mean. Update: I've always heard good things about Logitech computers, so you've probably made fine choices there. I have the Altec Lansing MX5021 2.1 setup and except for some *slight* hiss when there's no music/movie/system sounds playing, I love it. You might consider the FX series from Altec Lansing (see Source(s)). It depends on the type of desk you have.
