    Hi guys!

    After doing some more thinking, I have decided to hold off on a new and expensive 2.1 system and instead, purchase a 5.1ch usb sound card.

    About 4 years ago, I bought a rockin' Logitech 5.1 THX certified system that I only used for about 8-10 months because my tower died. I replaced it with my Gateway FX and they have since sat under my desk looking lonely. After looking around the forums, I found that you can buy USB 5.1 sound cards. I have never looked into this option, mainly because I didn't know it existed that didn't just support 2 channel sound.

    Anyone have any suggestions on a 5.1 channel card I could pick up from Newegg or Dell?

    Thanks
