    The sound will be a lot more clear being outside of the case having less interference with the electronics in the computer.

    yeah, and it looks cool. I'd still prefer something like the hercules game theater xp, with an internal card and a breakout box but this would be good for a laptop or somethin i think.

    actualy that is right....


    and I am thinking about it for my DJ PC, I would be able to turn a 4U rack PC to a 1U ( the fact that I need a 3D card and top of the line sound card ) going USB will give it an advantage....


    I would just have to mount this somewhere in my rack....

    I don't really see the purpose. Personally, I'd rather just have everything built in...
    It is not enough to merely touch the face of god; you also must open your eyes so that you may see your palm.

    Ahhh, well, for me, that isn't an issue. There is a tool for every job as they say.

    Not in some ways, 'cause theres a lot of computer music artists and djs out there and having an external modem from a larger company like creative is quite an attractive thing actually.

    usb has limited bandwidth. I wonder if this would create a problem if you have a webcam. I wouldn't go external, but it sure looks cool. I guess it's the only option if you have a laptop.

    hehe, soon we'll have external hard drives, external floppies, cd rom, USB to ethernet LAN adapters... oh wait, we do have em.

    So in 2 years the only thing that's gonna be in your case will be your mobo and CPU.
