I need a decent set of computer recording monitors soon! I'm currently using Roland MA-8 Stereo Micro Monitors in black, so it won't be difficult to find something much better than these. Any ideas, within reason and price? Stupid detail, but it would really be cool if I could find something either silver or white.
 
I have two tips for ya:
1) Shopping for monitors is a crap shoot. You can listen to several, side by side in a store, and when you get them home, they'll be completely different. I always say buy on popularity. I don't think monitors are like mics which have huge variations in color and purpose. I think monitors are all basically the same, purposely designed to give a near flat freq resonse and stereo image. Each one might sound different, but whichever monitor you get, you're going to learn and adjust for the differences.

2) If you're doing bass heavy mixes, I say avoid anything smaller than 6" monitors. I have 5" near-fields and I don't like the bass response at all.
