Hi,

I'm getting a HP Compaq DC7600 small form factor pc shortly which I'll be using (amongst other things) to store all my music. I plan to connect it to an all-in-1 out of the box surround sound setup that will be connected to my tv.

My question is whether there is a half decent 'low profile' sound card available that will give me a noticable difference when connected to my surround sound setup. OR whether I should just stick with the onboard sound?

Its Expansion Slots are listed as follows...

2 ( 2 ) x PCI - low-profile ¦ 1 ( 1 ) x PCI Express x1 - low-profile ¦ 1 ( 1 ) x PCI Express x16 - low-profile
 
Creative X-Fi Xtreme Gamer Soundcard - Retail - £58.74

Pretty sure this is a low-profile card so would be idea for your pc and give you a noticeable increase in sound quality.
