I mainly use my computer for music... and I wanted to somehow utilize all of my headphones and speakers ...

I currently have:

2.1 TDK S150 Speakers (Going to switch out to Logitech Z-5500)
Sennheiser HD 650
Sennheiser RS 120
Creative X-Fi Xtrememusic Sound Card

I want to get an amp for both of my Senns.

What amp should I get, and how should I hook it up so my amp is sitting on my desk, and I can plug in my headphones whenever I want... and possibly have both headphones to work at the same time. Right now, I have to crawl under my desk each time I want to plug something in.

Can you guys recommend me an amp and how to configure it?
 
First off I'd say use splitters. Simply split signal into 2 ;)
I am not sure about RS120 but HD650 are hard to drive.
You can consider getting the front panel thing for X-Fi - Platinum or what it is called - it has extra headphone out on the front. Can use a splitter to split this out into 2. But I am not sure if this will be powerful enough to drive 300Ohm load.
Edit:
If you are looking for reasonably priced headphone amp check behringer or samson etc.

I know using splitters will distort the sound... but won't a 4 channel amp do the same thing or no?
