You know, I just realized that the difference in price between those 250D's and the 550D's is not really all that much. So I believe I'll be getting the Megaworks THX 550D's after all, and enjoying those extra sound channels.
I've also decided that, at this time at least, top quality music fidelity is more important to me than having the absolute latest cutting-edge game effects. So, instead of any of those other sound card options, I think I'll get a Terratec DMX 6Fire card to match with the 550D's. After all, it still gets outstanding reviews - and it also has exactly enough channels to conveniently match-up with the 550D's.
It will be fun to compare this setup with another one I'll be putting together too. For a while I've been looking for a really nice PC sound gift for some family members. It would be used to upgrade their general home-office/multipurpose PC. I think I'll get and install a set of PM-14's and an M-Audio Revolution 7.1 card to their PC (they currently use onboard sound and built-in monitor speakers). I think this gift will likely be appreciated, do you agree?
Thanks again everyone for your advice and comments.
