Hercules Gamesurround Fortissimo III 7.1 Sound Card [Review, Digit Life]
The card aims games and DVD movies with 5.1, 6.1 and 7.1 sound (Power DVD ProEX supplied). It's interesting that Hercules has no 6.1 or 7.1 speaker sets. Since the rear speakers output is combined with a headphones-out, owners of 5.1 acoustic models can consider this connector as a bonus.

Altec Lansing XA3051 Surround Console Speakers [Review, Hexus]
If they were multi-input (i.e. suitable as PC speakers), they’d get an instant extra point or two. If they were Pro Logic II, they’d get more points too. Optical input (with Dolby Digital and DTS support) would be a 9/10. All of the above, I’d be happy to award a perfect score. (These are all hearty suggestions, Altec. Listen to them! Obey them! Sell many speakers!).
