small amp for 2.1 computer audio (svs ultra)

I'm looking for a compact-sized amplificator to use with a 2.1 computer audio system

Speakers = 2 SVS Ultra or 2 LCR-750
Subwoofer = PSB SubSeries 125

The biggest concern is the size restriction, i have limited room available under my desk
- Maximum 12" width
- Maximum 6" height
- Maximum 18" depth
- no fan / totally silent

I am totally noob at this, i never bought an amp before (beside AVR for home theater system).
I don't need any fancy features and the amp will always be connected ONLY to the computer. I don't need airplay or any wireless feature, just an audio input to hook it to my computer. I'm not the kind of guy who play a lot with audio settings and equalizer, most of the time i use default settings (on my HT i just ran audissey and didn't adjust anything)

Any recommendation ?

If you're listening near-field at moderate levels, I wouldn't worry too much about power. Looks like the PSB sub has an adjustable crossover, so it'd be fine; it also has speaker level inputs, so you won't need a sub out option.

Do you need a digital input from your pc, like usb?
prpixel has some great suggestions above.

However if you don't have the speakers already (confused since you listed two options), you may want to consider active monitors such as the KEF300A
