Got this good deal for pc speakers at Neticamall:

Creative/Cambridge Soundworks FPS2000 for $109

Now if I can just find a good sound card to go with it...
Can anyone suggest a good sound card for gaming?

Soundblaster XGamer works perfect with the FPS2000 ... you might consider getting the 5.1 version, in case you upgrade your speakers in the future.

Is Soundblaster pretty much the de facto brand for high end sound card?

Egghead has it for 119, with cheap shipping (6.95), comes in @$116.

The shipping at the linked site, at least to the US east coast, was a hefty 18.35, bringing that deal in a couple of dollars more expensive.

The great thing about Egghead is that the shipping is a flat 6.95 per order no matter how many items you order, or how heavy they are. So if you aggregate a few things, it makes a lot of sense.

E.g., if you are building a system, they have the linksys 10/100 nic for 17, good pices on cables, etc. Like a lot of places, you have to look around a bit to find the best prices. They tend to features things like cables they want to sell or which are overpriced, but if you run your search several different ways, you can find the good stuff.
