The Large Magellanic Cloud is the easiest to spot. It's a beautiful sight in a dark sky.
Having only 5 inches of aperture, it's a bit of a challenge hunting for the further ones, but I recently found M83 in Hydra and Centaurus A (in centaurus, north of omega centauri). so they shouldn't be too hard to find in an 8inch dob. but you'll need a dark sky.
Do you have any star maps?
