Interesting post, thanks.

I have an sff, predominantly used for films, so yeah, but I don't want to buy something naff! For the money I could get a cracking gfx only card and a cheapo USB DVB-T dongle... Just want some first hand info. The reveiws sound good, but I value the opinions I get here a bit more...

Hello, Does anyone have any opinions or experience with All-in-Wonder cards? The price difference between the two that are commonly available in large, £150 for the 2006 based on the x1300 and £350 for that based on a x1900. I've also found one at about the £200-250 mark the x1800xl. I'd...

Thanks Zildjian, that could well save me some time. TooNice - Nice suggestion(s). I've had a look at the X-Fi Elite Pro and I figure that I don't need the external box, so am I right in thinking that the XtremeMusic edition is the same thing just missing the ext box. I like the sound of your...

I'll echo Stu here. The only difference I've noticed with interconnects is going for unshielded to sheilded. All this £30+ on a 70cm length of wire is totally unecessary.

Cheers Stu, I'm just going by the marketting info, so it might not be true 32bit. I use it mainly for watching video, but also for music a significant amount of the time. It's connectted to my hifi (NAD amp & MS speakers), so I'm looking for a "audiophile" solution rather than a gamer's rig...

OK, so I do need an upgrade... How do I choose between them?

Thanks squiffy, and sorry for the duplicate post!! OK, so what other specs should I be looking at?

Hello, My onboard sound (Aopen EZ482) is 32bit/192kHz and I was thinking of upgrading to M-Audio 192, but this is only 24bit/192kHz. Am i right in thinking that what I have is better than the M-Audio, or am I missing something? Thanks, dango

Thanks Zildjian. Having had a look at the specs, I think a new cable might be all I need. The M-Audio 192 is 24bit/192kHz while my onboard audio is 32bit/192kHz! Just checking, but that does mean that my onboard is better than the M-Audio, right?? Cheers, Dan

Hello, Can anyone recommend a sub £150 cound card for use in conjunction with my hi-fi (NAD amp & MS speakers) and shuttle-type PC? I don't want one that requires a 5 1/4 inch bay as my only one is in use. I only need the one line out too, as all output will go to the hifi. That said, I do...

I think that looks like a crock o' **** myself... a bit gimmicky. Yeah, I've got the wapping copper heat sink strapped to my AMD venice and I'm sure it make a large difference. This one looks very similar to mine: http://www.overclockers.co.uk/acatalog/Online_Catalogue_Akasa_119.html Akasa...

Cheers for the responses guys. I'm now confident enough to go for it. I've plummed for the x1600xt, with the wapping HIS ICEQ cooler on the side. Going to copy Going to Cali's case work and mod the side of my case. I'll post some pics, but don't hold your breath...

Nice one, thanks Chaos. I'd really like to see pics of your cooling system too, but I don't care if it's finished or not ;) laterz, Dango

Oh ok, thanks Waster. Have you got an SFF setup? Does anyone know where to find out what PSU a given gfx card requires?

I've been looking around for a decent gfx card, but I've just found out that my xc-cube only has a 275W PSU. Can I run a X800XL or X1600XT with this PSU? If not, what are my options? Thanks, Dango

I was looking at those akasa HDD coolers as well. The Akasa website says that this produces approx. 30dB. I'm not a big fan of extra noise, so if it was me I would plum for the Zalman. I hadn't noticed it before and it is a darn site cheaper than I had imagined it would be. Nice HDD that...

I'm hearing you Chaos...
