Crystal Speakers? Answered

I'm planning on building myself (or modifying my existing one) to create the ultimate workspace and among the several features I have planned (usb hub etc) I have one particularly tricky one, I'd like to integrate the desk with a speaker system but massive drivers wont cut it on such a small surface area. I had recently seen a speaker system that uses glass or crystal vibrating to create amazing sound, I was wondering how I'd shape such crystals and if anyone has any general ideas on the design of the speaker system  ?

These things? (not cheap...)

The devices need to be largely free, in a desk will not give you good quality. I imagine those are such a price because they're tricky to build right.
Piezos are probably your best bet for small, unless you can pipe sound from somewhere else.

Think-geek has them...http://www.thinkgeek.com/gadgets/cellphone/d4e6/

I used to have a set of 'piezo' speakers, and they were awesome.
