    I don't think it's fair to completely hate on alienware. one of their products is having a lot of issues...doesn't mean they haven't been a leader in high end systems for a long time. my AW desktop is still serving me well.

    Well, all good things come to an end sometime :)
    I agree in a way, bashing is not the way to go, but having heard the horror stories about the m15x and the CS, I would sue their collective asses over and over again...

    Interesting discussion about sound cards, particularly because I've been wanting to ask!

    I really love music, and I purchased a pair of Shures (Amazon link: http://tinyurl.com/6fgq4y) for $500 -- If you're more price-conscious, I recommend the SE310.

    I need to get a sound card to match, and I'd prefer one that fits in the express slot. The one Eleron linked above looks interesting. Is there anything one or two levels up that sound nicer?

    Is there any drawback to using an expresscard for sound?

    EDIT: Actually, the EMU thing looks pretty expensive Kaltmond. Would that provide a noticeable difference in quality?

    600/1500/900 are what most people use on their 8800M GTXs.
    Some go a bit over it...

    there is: passwords =P

    perhaps the fingerprint software is potentially more secure, but it's definately not more convenient...and i'm not worried about people hacking my NBR account and the like lol

    Any particular reason why that one's not good enough for you? I'm genuinely curious, I don't know much about notebook soundcards yet. Thanks for the responses!
