Currently have my Terratec DMX 6 Fire LT in my Shuttle, which I've downsized from my ATX case.
The problem I've got is the actual card does not have a microphone. I have to install another component into the next PCI slot and connect it to the PCI card. Obviously in a Shuttle, this is a no go.
Regretably, I'm now faced with selling this fantastic sounding card for something with a MIC port on the PCI card.
Bit out of loop with soundcards so not sure what to replace it with.
I paid £90+ for this card a while back and I'm not looking to spend anywhere near that amount again.
The system won't be used for gaming at all, but I will be using it to listen to MP3's and DVD's via my hi fi amp and speakers.
Quite tempted to pick up a second hand Videologic Sonic Fury/Turtle Beach Santa Cruz as I had one of these ages ago and was impressed by the audio quality.
Either that or I have seen:
Terratec Aureon 5.1's for £15-20
Terratec Terratec Aureon 7.1 for £32
Creative SB Audigy 4 PCI for £33
The Shuttle does have onboard audio which I suppose I could use if all else fails. But seeing as I'm hooked up to a hi fi amp and speakers and not tiny desktops, I better go for the PCI option.
