M-Audio LX4s

Based on Spot's and other recomendations, I have decided to purchase the M-Audio LX4 - A good set of studio monitors that won't break the bank.
About 6-8 months ago, someone posted a killer link to purchse these monitors. As I recall, to get the 5.1 setup, it was around $400.00.
Saddly, I accidentally deleted that link.
Does anyone have suggestions to a good place to buy them?
And, is there a better solution I should consider- in that price range?
AND, if I get these monitors, is there a recomendation as to which audio card I would want to go with.
My needs are modest. I don't even really NEED the 5.1, but if I'm setting up a nice bay, what the heck? I mainly do cable spots, industrials and the occasional (rare) music video. SO I won't be getting the 2ft thick cement walls and all that ;-)
I'd just like a nice-sounding setup that I don't have to reley on my Altek Lansing computer speakers.
Thanks for all help and advice!

I recommend you do a SEARCH on the Vegas-Video forums for *LX4*.

If you can wait, Spot's "Now Hear This" dvd is coming out in a few weeks and I believehe talks about specific products in it. I put off my purchases for it, especially in regards to sound cards.

MyST, Did that search and didn't find the link I was hoping to recall. Thanks though.
Museman, thanks for reminding me to be patient. Good call.

Try www.sweetwater.com , nice bunch of guys and excellent prices.
For sound card, well how about the M-Audio Firewire 410, get the audio out of the PC case is a good step in the right direction.

You can probably talk them down a few bucks if you buy the complete 5.1 set-up at one time.
Spot already recommends these BTW if you're looking for the best possible monitoring for the fewest dollars.
