Well, the Creative labs ones I've seen on Dell's site. As for what else I've been looking at, well here's the thing. Now I have the companion 5 system from Bose, and don't get me wrong, I love it, but I'm blowing passed the the PC speakers and going for actually home theater systems you would typicly use with a TV. So, I've been looking at things like Dain's 7.1 system from Yamaha, the one I really find interesting is the YHT895. I've also looked at Onkyo, and dephinately Bose. I just love the Lifestyle V35 from Bose, it's $3000 though. Only problem with them is Bose refuses to go 7l.1. That's also why I asked people like Dain on this here list once if there really was anything to 7.1. Because if there is, then I may have to get a system frome some one else other then Bose. If not, well, we'll see. So yeah, I'm blowing passed the internal sound card, or any sound card for that matter, and going for the HDMI port on a graffics card. So, I don't know you tell me, if you want an actual home theater system, then stick with me. Now for those that love the Z5500, not bashing it, I've never heard it to be honest, it's just since that is the case, I don't want to put my self in the situation of buying something from say Amazon for instance, and then not likeing it, and going threw the night mare of returning it. That's all, so, same goes for Yamaha too. I've never heard a Yamaha system so, I'd love to hear one before buying one.
