Nforce2 audio and my FPS2000's?

I'm interested in getting one of the new shuttle XPC's with the nForce2 chipset... it's pretty badass and since it has dual monitor support it's ideal for me. I can free up my antec for a server case and have a sweet little machine that i can take places with me should I need to. it's also sort of time for an upgrade.
Anyways, right now I have my FPS2000 digital speakers plugged into the rear and front outs on my soundblaster value .. I'm using two output mini-stereos on the card but the back of the XPC only has one output, but then it has optical audio out or something... I'm wondering how I'm supposed to hook my speakers up to this machine should I get it once available.. ?
Thanks
 
I'm not totally sure what outputs the shuttle XPC has....got a link? There may be an option for a break-out box with more mini-plug adapters, otherwise you won't be able to use your FPS 2000. Newer computer speaker systems allow you to input optical or coax digital connections straight to the speaker woofer/receiver.

If you look at some of the reviews, it seems that the Nforce2 XPC has three analog outputs in the rear, and one digital SPDIF in the front.
The three analogs can be mapped as front / rear / center,bass , and the front is the 5.1 digital SPDIF out put.

That should qualify for most speakers, I believe.

There we go...yah as RSMemphis said, that will support any PC speaker that uses mini-plugs. You'll only be using 2 of the 3 inputs however, front and rear channel; The third channel is for LFE and center speaker, which will be unused with a FPS2000 setup.
