    They look quite nice and appear to have solid build quality (from the pic at least), any chance of a review soon ?
    Kalniel: "Nice review Tarinder - would it be possible to get a picture of the case when the components are installed (with the side off obviously)?"
    CAT-THE-FIFTH: "The Antec 300 is a case which has an understated and clean appearance which many people like. Not everyone is into e-peen looking computers which look like a cross between the imagination of a hyperactive 10 year old and a Frog."
    TKPeters: "Off to AVForum better Deal - £20+Vat for Free Shipping @ Scan"
    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    I sure hope not. It's probably completely unfounded, but I always feel more comfortable connecting to a soundcard with a good ol' 3.5mm jack than use a USB headset for the actual sound in games (as opposed to VOIP).

    See, Im with you ! X-fi in to some PC161's, my problem is with these USB headsets is they use the CPU to process but with CPU's growing in core's & Mhz will it make that much difference any more ??? Also Price up a good sound card + headset & the price of these look good for your money as they are 5.1 or 7.1 in some brands...

    X-Fi and a set of Astro A30's, cant beat the good old sound card. Dont want some nasty USB ones stealing my CPU cycles, those are to busy making my GPU cry when playing Crysis at max settings.
