Yeah there are plenty of optical to coax boxes out there and you can get your hands on a decent one for about $30-40. Just be sure to use the shortest possible optical cable you can get your hands on. Even though these things say they work with up to 5 meter optical cables, I've had problems if I attempted to use a cable over 1.5 meters. This entirely depends on the quality of your TOSlink port, but the ones found in PCs(or Macs) tend to be on the lower end of quality. Better not to chance it and just run a longer coax if you really need to make up on cable length.
Just to warn you, the quality isn't ideal, but I doubt you will notice a drop in quality unless you are outputting to some very high end equipment, which you don't seem to be.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
