I think the price on the card is about $25 or $30.  And if you plan on playing games, some sound cards such as the Soundblaster Pro have a built-in joystick port.

	If they're still shipping with the WD multi-port HD controller, the 
game port is built in. You just need to have them send you a joystick connector
to plug into the card and you're set. You could also probably pick one up at
a decent parts store for about a buck. If none of these workd, I'd just go 
out and get a Kraft joystick card for about $10 US.
