It appears that you've only considered internal sound cards.  External
sound cards have several advantages over internal.  First of all,
noise.  If you're using analog i/o, it's better to keep the analog
signals outside of the computer case since EMF is strong inside the
case.  External sound devices also tend to have a better selection of
i/o ports.  They can also easily be shared between multiple machines.

Check out this card (which is in your budget):

The big question is whether this thing works in Linux; and I don't
have the answer.  Anyone know?
