Tenida, also look for Philips 5.1 Speaker system. I know you guys think I'm crazy to recommend such a uncommon brand but I've hands-on experience with Philips 5.1 system which my my friend has purchased after my suggestion. Philips speakers also won best value for money award in Digit magazine reviews.

Have a look at Philips Mms460 Speaker 5.1 @ 4.8K . The speaker looks really cool. Here is the Link

How is Sound quality in it Cilus?
My bro has this 5.1 from philips(he won at his office lucky draw) in his PC... They are total crap... Sub distorts at deep lows, highs are very poor... Overall - muddy even with EQ tweaking...

On seeing the specs of Philips Mms460,
Satellite speaker freq range:
200-20.000 Hz
Subwoofer freq range:
20-180 Hz

There is a gap @ freq. 180-200Hz the speaker suffers @lower mids...

Another thing to be noted is the Signal-to-Noise ratio is not mentioned....
Sorry Cilus, But I doubt this unit..

IMO get a 2.1 & save a bit more & then get a decent sound card like Xonar DX.

The main reason, one should avoid basic 5.1 like Z506 is the cable length between Woofer & Satellites.

In case of Z506, Tenida need to have a good room dedicated for it & even with onboard the experience is just pathetic.

For a desktop, a decent 2.1 like Altec Lancing VS4621 is enough until unless tenida becomes a audiophile.

its just an a experience which i learnt, when i had paired X540 with Onboard & later switched to Z2300 with Xonar.

Frankly, for music a basic 2.1 is quite sufficient, but when it is paired with a monster like Xonar, then expect a lot more from it. Specially for gaming or Movies Z506 may sound good, but think on the other hand even, "How to set 5.1ch up right, when OP don't have a good room ???"

My motherboard i.e. MSI Z68A-GD80(B3) comes up with THX Certified Onboard sound card.
Here its specification-
THX TruStudio PRO

THX is a trade mark of a high-end audio/visual reproduction standard for movies, home theaters, computer speakers and other audio devices. THX Certified Audio products are designed to let users experience movies & videos as live show. The true sound effect can make high definition video more powerful.

Features
- A high-fidelity sound reproduction standard
- Accurately reproduce the fullest audio experience of movie, music and game soundtracks

I have quite decent room for 5.1 setup.BTW. i have Logitech X210 2.1 speaker but i need surround sound experience like movie hall not like IMAX or Inox but decent enough.:))

U cant feel the difference unless, u have a THX certified or atleast a decent pair of Headphones/speakers...

The MSI Z68A-GD80(B3) boasts Realtek ALC892 audio chipset which is a decent chipset for users unless they are audiophile...

I guess what d3p5kor is trying to imply is, get the best out of ur budget...

^^Not necessarily... First decide what u really need(2.1 or 5.1). Get it. Depending on what u get, u can decide whether u need a SC or not..

If its 5.1, my vote holds for Edifier DA5000 :)
