In need of a new soundcard

Hello

So, my soundcard has blown and I need a new one.
The card I have used was pretty satisfying, but apparently creative no longer supports this one (year 2005).
It's the Creative SoundBlaster X-Fi XtremeMusic.

I pretty much wanted to have the same but apparently they are no longer being sold (neither officially by creative nor "new" by amazon), so I'll probably need a different one, whether it is creative or not, I don't mind.

Info:
  • PCI
  • no surround needed (using 2.1)
  • low budget, around 100€, less if possible.
  • mostly used for -loud- music

Someone able to suggest me something?
Thanks in advance, SEN!

Oh boi. Not much you'll find better than M-Audio's audiophile line.

Apparently you can grab this for 67€.



None.

I'm going to kind of hijack your thread here, but hopefully some questions will be answered which will help everyone decide what a good buy is.

I've got a card like this (it says model number sc8768, but from what I can gather it's got identical parts) that I'm not using because I don't care and I'm just using onboard on a fairly new motherboard. Should I be using the sound card instead? Is there a particularly good reason to do so?
