The LT & DT are for two different purposes, the DT is for everyday use including PTE, the LT I only use for presentations. The tower isn't a tower it's a Lan box, similar to the pic without the mini screen & clear sides. The idea was to use it as a portable instead of a LT, but it was such a fag disconnecting everything I upgraded my LT. The audio card I'm not sure, if you are interested I had it built by Fantasy Computers Stockton & I am very pleased with it, it's in its 3rd year so may replace/update it later this year.Yachtsman1 Quote

Your requirements will dictate what you need.Your external hardware will limit what you will end up with.As with the motherboard specs,soundcard specs won't tell you all.Everything is relative,but something around the £50 markshould do the trick,unless you need something exotic.Davy Quote
