Sound cards with optical out.

I'm looking to get a sound card to hook out of my PC and into my 5.1 reciever. I'd really like one free of all bells and whistles, the optical cable jack is the absolute only concern. Does anyone have any suggestions of budget focused styles of cards like this?
 
FYI, the optical (or coax) digitial will give you 5.1 playing DVDs but only stereo playing games.

To get 5.1 for game audio you must use the 3 x 2 analog outs from the soundcard and plug them into the analog 5.1 input that most receivers now have (usually for the DVD input).

People like the $25 Chaintech card at newegg.
