Any thoughts? It's actually only $30 with coupon.

I wouldn't get anything below this one.  Only 20 bucks more and worth it.

Turtle Beach used to make some fine sound cards.  Do they still?

Looks like the same card to me.

Doh, my bad.    It is the same card.  Um, yep, good choice.

No problem. At least we have a yes vote.

dont get a turtle beach sound card, you will be hearing a siren on all the time.  there's a conflict somewhere I had 2 and could never get rid of the sound at all.  I ended up with the soundblaster x-fi extreme audio and its much better.  of course you'll also have to get better speakers too.  just for your info this card is not an x-fi not sure what that means, but its not, lol.

A note about that the " Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Xtreme Audio 7.1 Channels 24-bit 96KHz PCI Interface Sound Card "

A year or so ago, Creative changed the name of this card.  It currently holds the X-FI name; however, it does not use the X-FI chip that the higher end more expensive X-FI cards ($70+ cards).  It's actually their older chipset, I think it still may be based off of the LIVE series of cards. 

You're getting what you pay for.  It is a step up from an Onboard Audio Chip, but won't hold a candle to the higher end X-FI cards.
