Well you will probably need to get some sort of amplifier for them..
I have heard some people getting a pair of computer speakers and then gutting out the amp in the subwoofer..  or if you can find a stand-alone amplifier for them..
I went off the deep end 

  I bought a receiver on sale for 79.99 to drive my speakers.  Have a pair of polk audio 6.5" component speakers.  I just plug the digital out of my soundcard into the receiver and viola.. as a bonus now  I can play AM/FM on the thing too.. 
At first I was looking into a stand-alone amplifier.. but unless you can get a used price.. it's almost cheaper to go this way..
Cheapest way will probably be some sort of speaker hack.. but i'm inexperienced at those..
