My new motherboard has separate audio channels for front, rear, Subwoofer Speakers and I saw that 5.1 PC Speakers has the inputs for each channel as well for this, but I don't really have the room for 5.1 speakers so I was just going to buy some 2.1 speakers for my computer but the ones I saw just have a single stereo input. Is there any 2.1 PC speakers that have both stereo and Subwoofer inputs?

I think your missing what 2.1 speakers are, doing what you think would mean having seperate amps for the speakers and Sub or expecting your motherboard to power the sub itself.. which it cannot. A 2.1 setup generally has one amp located in the sub enclosure and the speakers slave off that, you will not need the sub jack at all. For the best sound experience use the Toslink "Optical" jack as it will give you the best quality your going to get out of a PC even with a 5.1 setup.
