if you are going to be doing anything more than playing mp3's and games
through the soundcard, i would suggest grabbing the module off of the
site, they keep adding more and more features as time goes by.

its a great card

I'm extreamly happy w/ my fong-kai case, look on arstechnica for a
review, its a midtower w/ a pure 250 watt powersupply.  many people
suggest 300 or more, but w/ continous pwr supplies 250 is good, I run
2hd's 2 cdroms, 2 processors, a networkcard, sblive card, g400,  and
2940u2w off of the one powersupply and I still have plenty of juice
left.

problem w/ the fong kai is that its fairly hard to find a reseller, the
review on ars has a link to one however. its a pretty slick and fairly
cool looking case
