Reasonably warm. Price is about $200 from online vendors.

It does have optical out, but you will not get multichannel sound in games, just movies. SPDIF is not specced for straight 4.0 or 5.1 output, only if it's lossily encoded in DTS or Dolby Digital format, which you can't do on the fly with games, unless you have an nForce.
 
Isn't this the card that BestBuy had like 2 weeks ago for $119? CircuitCity had the Audigy2 Gamer edition, not sure of the difference, for $99 a while back (been kicking myself for not splurging on one).

If I'm off base here, then good find.
