After a new Keyboard, currently got the Saitek Eclipse 4? Maybe 3?

After something simple (No "ONE BAJILLION MACRO BUTTONS BLA DE BLA!" Never have used em doubt I ever will use them)

Must have:
Backlight, with the ability to turn off
Headphone and Mic inputs

Bonus:
USB Ports
Volume wheel, not buttons.

As cheap as possible, definately under £50 please

EDIT:

Oh and a new Headset for around the same budget would be nice please, again the best bang for buck possible

Do any gaming keyboards have this nowadays? I have been using my trusty G15(original, blue) for years and years now, but i would consider upgrading for this feature.

I started a thread about gaming keyboards. Conculsion for me was the MS Sidewinder X4 based on cost and features was for me. It wasn't too expensive and had enough features and was also backlit, sadly in red though.

But other then this, nice bit of kit and fairly cheap. A lot of these gaming keyboards are very expensive.
