Budget PC Surround Sound?

[CDailey]

I was wondering if anyone knew of a good, budget surround sound system for my PC? My parents want to know what I want for Christmas and I told them but they only have about $200-$300 to spend so they said to try to find a budget surround sound system. Also, if you know of any good sound cards please specify. Thanks!

Thanks boombexus! Those Altec Lansing 251 speakers look awesome. Viper Zero agrees since he has them.

Yes, the 251s rock the house, literally.

Here is newegg.com's selection of speakers. http://www.newegg.com/app/manufactory.asp?catalog=60&DEPA=1 I recommend either Altec Lansing, Creative, or Logitech. All three companies have 5.1 speaker systems and Creative has 7.1 systems as well.

Sound cards are here: http://www.newegg.com/app/manufactory.asp?catalog=57&DEPA=1 I guess Creative is the dominant company here with the Audigy series.

I personally got Logitech Z-640s (5.1 speakers and the sub is great... ) at a steal (Only $129 AU) so I'd recommend them.
