You need a RCA Y adapter, actually two of them, and 2 cables with 3.5mm-2xRCA (you must already be using one). Plug the 2 cables into the computer end with the 3.5mm headphone jack, and the Y adapters into the left and right inputs on the speakers. Each cable takes up one socket on the adapters. Here's one kind of a Y adapter, there may be others in your local market:

There are many other ways to achieve this in a simple setup. You won't be able to switch between the inputs, both will always be active. I guess that's what you want.
 
You're growing old, my friend. :P He needs two of them, and I've mentioned it in the first sentence of my post. The pics are the reference of the Y adapter.
 
err....here's what I understood:

Sound Card 3.5m stereo socket --> 3.5mm stereo plug --> Two x RCA plugs --> RCA y-adapter --> 2 rca to stereo 3.5mm --> speaker input 1.

So thats 2 x 3.5 to two rca cables, 2 x rca Y-adapters, and 2 x 3.5 to two rca male cables.

This is confusing :P And I still haven't understood why he needs this.

Scratch everything. Here's another idea. Connect PC 1 to front input on speaker, and PC 2 to rear input. Done! :ohyeah:
 
but wont he end up shorting both outputs then :S

one pc -> front, other to rear makes more sense :P Sounds kinky too :bleh:
