Right now I'm running soe stupid pos sound card with just one output and the sound isn't that great, so I'm looking for something with more channels...

I came accross this card selling in my home town for 39.99

I got this card for $20 with free shipping at Newegg:

It sounds awesome, but you lose your MIC input if you go to 5.1 which sucks, but if you're looking for something cheap, it's a good buy. If it weren't for the free shipping though, I'd go with the Sound Blaster.
