FireWave - Surround Sound for Mac

Music plays a big part in helping me get through the boring repetitive tasks that many of us have to do everyday. While I do religiously use headphones, I have on a number of occasions thought how cool it would be to have a surround sound system - I even gave some thought to robbing the old Panasonic system from the living room - in my small square office. I have a feeling that the Griffin FireWave is primarily marketed towards gamers and those who watch movies on their Macs. For me having surround sound coming out of my Mini, which we use as a jukebox, would make listening to Dvorak or Miles all the more exciting. Or perhaps I could finally have alert tones appearing to come from different directions in the rooms (something I would have to predesign in Logic Pro). It's a small portable device and uses firewire to transmit data and power from you Mac through to your surround sound speakers. It costs $89.95US at untangledlife.
