Xbox 360 and dell 2405

I'm teetering on the verge of buying a 360, only thing holding me back is i'm going to use it with my Dell 2405 for now. I have a cheap 5.1 set up a Philips MMS260 5.1 PC Speakers. These have no input or amp to connect the 360 too. They are connected directly to my pc sound card.

How would I go about getting sound from the xbox? I'd be happy just getting 2 speaker sound. Can I just unplug the jack to the sound card and put it in the 360 or buy a splitter?

Any help would be great, must be some other 360/2405 users here?

Alternatively you can get an adapter (you'll have to do this anyway with the first method) and connect the Xbox directly to the speakers.

Whats the adapter I would need? With that method, I wouldnt need the pc on? If I was to buy a better 5.1 system what inputs would i need to get over the problem?

So I would need a system with a digital input to connect the xbox too? Was hoping for a cheap work round with my current set up but it looks like I need a new speaker set up.
