You can't really complain for US $300. It's an amazing card for the
price. The bundle of wires hanging out of the back of the computer can
be cumbersome but with some extention cables you can pretty much build
your own I/O rack or spend the extra cash and get the 1010 which is the
same card with a hardware rack already built. The integrated mic preamps
are a nice feature. It basically turns a PC into a small mixing board
with the advantage of, y'know, all that software you can use to get
things in and out of the card.
