Anyone use Axioms (or any other speakers that use binding posts or clips as opposed to 1/8" jacks) with their computer?

I'm pretty uninformed in this area; I was wondering if there were PCI cards on the market that (1) acted as amps and (2) had audio outs for speaker wire (i.e. clips or posts). As it is now, I use the 1/8" jack out of my computer to a little external amp with a 1/8"-to-RCA cable, then run the speakers from the amp. I was hoping some product could collapse all of this into one unit - like a receiver.

Obviously, a PCI card is much smaller than just about any serious amp, but then again, it's not like such a thing would have to be rated 125w per channel for 7 channels or anything.

So... anyone have or know of such a card for computers (PC and/or Mac)?
