Scan.co.uk: Creative Labs Sound Blaster Audigy SE Sound Card - 70SB057002003 here are also some other good cheap ones: Scan.co.uk: Creative Labs Sound Blaster X-Fi Extreme Audio PCI Sound Card - 30SB079200000 Scan.co.uk: Asus Xonar DG Surround Sound Card - PCI - 90-YAA0K0-0UAN0BZ you can't do anything worng with ASUS or Creative.
