Just saw this sale. It certainly wouldn't be my first choice, but for someone one a budget, that is fucking cheap.

Might be a good machine for kids or something. But it's a decent price for what it is.

Ick.  I hate mobos with integrated sound modules.  They have caused me nothing but problems.

They pretty much all have built in sound now a days. I've never had an issue with any of them I just disable the MB sound and put in a real sound card anyway.

The Nvidia SoundStorm stuff is really good from what I hear. I've never used it myself though.

I prefer a seperate sound card too.
