There are some better cards out there in the a similar range, but as far as i know, few, if any feature an external box.
The card was easy to insert into e free PCI slot. The PCB is not overly large, and doesn't take up to much space in the case. The rear of the card has your three standard audio jacks, as well as the two ports to connect to the external box. The box features a master volume control, input volume control, 2 input jacks and a headphone jack. Also has optical ports and i firewire port. Also has a CMSS button (enables surround sound i think). The rear of the box also has several ports such as midi inputswhich i dont use. There is another firewire port on the rear also. The box build quality is fairly good, but slightly flimsy.
I decided to buy this card because of the ability to connect my guitar via the input jack on the box. Obviously there are cards out there that will be far more suitable for professional musicians, but will be a lot more expensiveThe software that is installed along with the drivers has a few customisable effects that you can use, but is pretty useless for any serious musician.
For any of you who want exact specifications:
24bit/192kHz audio playback 24bit/96kHz recording ASIO 2.0 support Seven-channel audio (6.1) with Dolby Digital EX decoding Six analog outputs; Three Line In connectors
Comes with remote control but the software for it is rubbish, so i don't use it. The Drivers on the CD i had were also pretty bulky, and added a few uneccessary exe's to background processes.
I wont comment on other software included, as this tends to change over time and will likely differ from mine.
