The Logitech Z506 is essentially your only all-in-one, self-contained option.
You could always get a cheap 5.1 receiver and a budget 5.1 set.
Get an Onkyo home theater in a box. Will beat out anything in the same product line as a Logitech AND you could absolutely use it for an actual budget home theater. I'm running an Onkyo 5.1 receiver next to my desktop right now which was originally used as a home theater system when I was in college. Gaming is incredible when I plug my headphones into it. Connect it to your mobo via a toslink and you're golden.
Boom.
5.1. Cheaper than the Logitech and will sound far better.

PS: Darknecron, I like your sig. Agreed with those overpriced/hyped headphones.

Size is going to be an issue. There's just no space on my desk for a receiver like that.

Two of the first version would be better, the second comes with a 2amp power supply, which is inadequate at higher volume, though an $8-9 monitor power supply "fixes" the problem.
Sould get your Creatives going again.
