Have a look in the classifieds section and maybe even post a wanted classified.
also bidorbuy might be a good bet.

Otherwise new, maybe: http://www.prophecy.co.za/asonic-87688c-sound-card-cmedia-cmi8768-chipset-p-25996.html but no idea quality wise though ...

Prophecy is way too over priced, here's the same card, but cheaper: http://www.ngrcomputers.co.za/asonic-a87688c-channel-sound-card-with-optical-p-15914.html

But personally I would get this one instead: http://www.ngrcomputers.co.za/genius-soundcard-sound-maker-value-audio-acceleration-p-7493.html

You will also save R15 on shipping in major centers

You won't get much better for R300 unfortunately

I have the creative sound blaster live gold lying around somewhere.
I think when the dinosaurs roamed it was "the" soundcard to have.....

If I recall it used ISA slots? Bottom line is that you can have it if you want

I have a dedicated 10in/10out audio interface that I want to sell, unfortunately not for R300 It really whips any onboard sound when it comes to sound fidelity.
