I have it. It's been great so far. The software and drivers aren't as bloated as Creative ones.

Santa Cruz is great for music listening, ok for games {due to using an old Sensaura build (http://www.sensaura.com/)}. Fortissimo III (http://us.hercules.com) a good card which is inexpensive and a step below Santa Cruz, uses a newer Sensaura build.

the santa cruz does sound decent when playing games right? im mainly going to use this to listen to mp3s and play counterstrike. i have the logitech z-340 speakers.
