Customized computer?

[Xelbair]

my sound card is dieing(rear output for 5.1 audio isn't working) and its out of warranty and i can't decide which card should i get to replace it...
requirements:
Digital IN(optical, not coax) <- total must for me
Digital out(optical, not coax)
7.1 output

would be nice:
support for Front panel from creative fatality champion series.

positioning of sound is more important than sound quality, but it would be nice if quality was great too.

I would get Xonar card... but not even of them one has digital in, out and 7.1 output...


also - my headphones are getting close to death too - i'll try to fix them but cable is broken in most annoying spot to fix..

I have switched the cable of my MBQuart headphones twice (the first replacement wire I bought turned out weird by starting to bleed green alien blood like liquid after a year, not funny). I had to pretty much completely disassemble the headphones, which is kind of annoying but also highly understandable. It's not like headphones would have too many parts anyway, though, so it's not such a big deal in the end.
