And for soundcard i would like to take one ESI gigaport HD , i have read some review , he was good , wath do you believe about the ESI soundcard ?
i was believeing about adding a X1 to my setup (not to use all at the same time ofc ) but wasnt 100% happy with its layout. the K2 however looks pretty much perfect to me... |
| Micha Tollas 01.10.2011 | okay , in france i can have the scs 3d for 81 |

| Kayce Mesia 01.10.2011 | I'd say wait for Xone's K2, since that looks very promising, and you might have a use for the built-in soundcard! But, if you're set on getting the X1 or scs.3Ds, the X1 has been the choice for many. |
