Asus Xonar 7.1 Sound Card 25$! sale ends soon
Just wanted to let you know of this extreme deal...

reg price: 55$, 15$ instant rebate, 15$ mail in rebate = 25$! (edit: they raised the price to 35$ the day after i bought it, still good price though)

this sound card is AMAZING for the price... im using it on my Logitech z-5500 over digital and it sounds great for movies, the analog worked really good too.

Onboard sound cards sound good these days (eg the Realtek 888/9 series... )... but they lack DTS connect for suround sound gaming over digital optical/coax... that is where this card shines... plus for 25$ cant go wrong.

edit: (rant) optical is great for movies (no interference, less cabling) but analog is better for gaming (no compression/on the fly encoding).. no happy medium?
