Did you ever have issues you didn't like about your Sound Card ~ HT Omega Claro? I was looking at the +Plus version on NewEgg and someone wrote how they thought music "sounded flat" from it. Just curious what your end thoughts were now your build is completed?

[Johnintoit]

Only real issues is i am still trying to set up the speakers so that i can have my PC and Xbox hooked up at the same time and still get sound, other then that it's a great card and i would recommend it, the people that you have read about having issues with sound, i don't see it, then again what are they comparing it too, another PC sound card or some sort of Bose (or what have you) sound system, i mean it sounds good, do i think i am listening to a symphony at Carnegie Hall, ummm no.

would 240 pin ddr2 work on this board?

[Johnintoit]

I believe the board is made for ddr3, make sure you some research before buying if your going to use ddr2.

Hey is provantage safe? First time I ever heard of that site and when I saw it WOW PSU prices are low!

[Johnintoit]

I did not have any problems although like many sites that sell online there will always be mixed reviews, they had the best price i could find, the pwr supply was brand new and i am using it right now to write this message, but like always when buying online, do some research.

[JacobStar9104]

Windows vista pwns! :o

[Johnintoit]

@shmuck50 Yeah, it cost a lot but still runs amazing till this day, only thing that did not last was the Radeon 4870x2 which put me off ATI for good, that was a $600 card that made it just past one year with only a one year warranty, I know have an EVGA GTX570 with a lifetime warranty and the card is beyond sick. :p

[bashbanger]

nope.

[martinolatino123]

Yea I checked Nextag and i think it got 5 Stars and i also checked pricegrabber and it got really good reviews with 4.9 anyays thanks for the info :)

Also Great Build :D
