can you take / find a better pic of the rear of your PC?
if you just need enough, why not go the analog route with the 3 RCA/miniplug if you have the outputs :dunno:

ok....i figure i should just get a nice card. eventually when i upgrade to a new tower this one i have now will be my htpc, not for recording, just video playback.
the card wagz has for 99 bucks seems to have the greatest reviews.

i wonder if i can get a different manufacturer for the same chipset and still get good quality :thinking:
this one uses the same chipset. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16829271001
for $20 less and just as good reviews. also has coax out.

If you are using a digital out, you don't really need a real expensive card with 24 bit DA converter or whatever since it is pretty much just taking the digital soundtrack and just relaying it your reciever. The reciever is where the magic happens. Just a thought.
