Cheap 5.1 mixer?

I have an analog 5.1 speaker rig.
What mixer can I get that can output 6 channels of analog?

(I have several pro interfaces but they are both digital and or 2 channel)

I wanted to stack them with asio4all.
But what cheap interface can output 5.1 and most of my gear is analog (Not SPDIF or ADAT)

Sorry if Im so stupid that I cant even ask the question,
How to get 6 channels out of my PC!!!

Can the built in mobo monitor? (16ms)

Thanks, sorry im so stupid! Im taking stupidity to a new science!

any audio interface with at least 6 outs can do it. Just go to sweetwater or guitarcenter .com and look at the audio interfaces. There's probably a few in the 200 range that will do it.

You will also want a 5.1 monitor controller.

JSt0rm Im not getting a monitor controller. Super cheap system for home projects. Im thinking M-audio 410 firewire as it has 7.1 analog outs.

How are you going to control the volume on those monitors without a controller?

I feel like not having a physical controller might become irksome, but sure, I guess that'd do it.

I don't miss a physical hardware monitor controller at all.
I did used to run an SPL one, but it blew and took out 3 of the 5 monitors I had at the time (Yamaha MSP10) but thank the gods for insurance.

Now I run the Nuendo Control Room via my WK Audio ID console - perfect.
(although I suppose that could be described as a monitor controller too.....)
