so got a 30 buck gift from amazon.com and buy.com. What can I get??

I have logitech 2.1 speakers, Soundman 2, about 4-5 yrs old.
cheap sound card?? does it improve performance? looking for a $30-40 one..so willing to pay like 10 extra. How about this one: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/de...83073-1136026?v=glance&s=pc&n=13436341
or this:

Was thinking abt getting Nero Ultra? Is it worth it? I use dvd santa, dvd decrypter, dvd shrink, i have used Roxio, but dont like it.

or anything else?? need to use these 30 bucks within 3 weeks or so. I dont need dvds, music downloads, etc. i can get some books later at amazon, but not really....no big computer parts needed. need ideas
 
How about a USB thumb drive? Those are handy. Or perhaps a multi-format memory-card reader if you have a need for one. I'd say "pizza" except I don't think Amazon sells that 😕

edit: if you don't have a router to provide a perimeter firewall, that would be another good item. Netgear RP614, D-Link DI-604, Linksys BEFSR11 or BEFSR41...

have a router! lotsa other things i could do with 30 bucks, but limited to amazon.com and buy.com for now.
what sound card would u guys recommend? I think im gonna get one...
 
Nero is well worth the price. i love it. When Nero 7 comes out, I'll probably upgrade to it. Nero is the best thing ever to do with anything that is Optical Media. It even has the ability to convert boot floppys and floppy images to CD images. Very useful considering my new comp doesn't have a floppy drive.

what about dvd encoding? a lot of those softwares are really picky..and hate roxio for it.

cant use the coupon on that. Its from tiger direct. The Item needs to be from Amazon.com only, not one of its affiliates.
What about the the turtle beach riviera card? or any other comparable ones? I dont really need 7.1 channel or even 6.1, but whtever is the best bang for the buck.

Oh, bummer.

AV-710 is a great 2 channel card. (and a decent 7.1 card)

Not so sure on the others.
