You have 2 choices :
1) use the onboard sound
2) get one with a separate sound card.
BOTH will have a line input.
You seem obsessed with this pot idea. Its not necessary. And a PC will not
cost over a thousand dollars. Go to a PC shop, do some research there. Ask
questions.
Or, buy a good standard PC, buy a Soundblaster card (they are cheap) making
sure there is what you need in connectivity, fire it up, go into the bios
and turn off the on-board sound, then install your SB drivers.
Forget this pot idea.
A USB soundcard will give you stereo input, via the line in.
You seem reluctant to do any searching, so see this :
