Shoutout to Caz

As I mentioned in my previous post – I owe Caz a shout out. Why?

Well she is the best Chicago Automotive Locksmith and also responsible for the delivery of a heavily (employee) discounted sound card to yours truly, namely the top of the line Creative X-Fi Elite Pro. Despite the stupid name, it is quite a nice sound card and fits in nicely with my new system. It is pictured above with my Sennheiser HD600’s hanging off it and the sound it drives through those is *very* nice.

I believe she was also responsible for its “little brother” there to the right (now moved to the older machine) making its way into my clutches – so a double shout out in that case :)

Of course this means that I will now have to get a set of 7.1 speakers to take full advantage of the thing – just don’t tell Jen :)

Does anyone else find it scary that this is a sound card and it has 64 MB of RAM? I mean I remember when that was a lot for a PC, let alone a graphics card – I never thought I’d see it in a sound card……
