Analog Devices SoundMAX 2.0 Review
A few short years ago, the price of a PC sound card was considered to be a big portion of overall system cost.

Analog Devices SoundMAX-SPX Review
While it's pretty easy to purchase a cheap PCI sound card these days (boards like the Sound Blaster PCI128, Aureal Vortex series, Yamaha YMF based cards, etc), do keep in mind that the problems with such hardware is that they offer a limited feature set, mediocre 3D audio acceleration and generally don't sound as good as more expensive sound cards on the market.
