I bought a computer off of a guy who buys cheep computers does them up and sells the when I got it home to my horror I found there was no place to plug speakers, A mic, Headphones anything except for the cd drive what do I do.

DOH! I just threw away 2 sound cards last week...cleaning house. I probably should have asked first.
Anyway, if money is an issue, you can get a cheapo from ebay for around $10.

The soundcard should have been installed in the first place IMO. All my builds either have onboard or at the very least, an ISA card..You can pick up a cheap SB128 PCI card for around 10 bucks now adays. Check with the guy you bought it from and ask if he has one around.. If he asks for more money..I would refuse to pay him. It should have been a complete PC when you got it.
