Whats the lowest profile case that has room for a Sound Blaster Audigy?

psyclobe · 10-19-2003, 09:24 PM

If I'm going to build a carputer, then the audio quality has to match what I currently have, that is pure clean audio with seperate channels for front, rear, and a subwoofer. I don't know of any "onboard" sound cards that can match that, but an audigy or other high quality PCI type cards can. My question is, does anyone know of a case that mounts the pci slot sideways? Or whats the smallest factor setup with a sound blaster or aother pci sound card possible?

Thanks,

The onboard sound on the EPIA M10000 supports 5.1 audio. You have to enable it but when you do the line out becomes front the line in becomes rear and the mic in is sub I think.

Agreed. I gutted an old old compaq case, really small for not being specifaclly meant for this kind of thing. Smaller than the travala as far as I can tell from those pics. It must have been 66mhz or someting like that.

Thanks for the tips guys, using an audigy external is a wise idea indeed

I have my Audigy in a Casetronics 2699R. Works fine. Way better sound than EPIA onboard.

Oh neato, didn't know that case could be ordered seperatly. Looks like I'm gonna get that instead and peice the system together then..
