Low profile sound card ?

[BoBo 007]

Well further proof that no good deed goes unpunished.
A friend asked me to upgrade his daughter’s machine to windows XP and it has been a huge pain.
Now the only issue left is that the audio breaks up during disk activity.
I disabled the onboard and stuffed in a PCI card and it works great, but I can’t use it,
Because the machine is an old Netvista X40 all-in-one only has low profile PCI slots.
So things being the way they are, I can’t find a CHEAP low-profile sound card !
Would rather NOT use external USB, but if I cant find a CHEAP PCI I’ll have to.
need a little help here

Um, none of those would really work... Creative makes a low prifile version of the Live! 24bit and the Audigy2. I got one of the Live! 24bit cards off eBay a while ago and after a quick search I found a couple for sale. Here is a link to one.

This is the same card I have in a low profile system and it is great. You just need to cut down the backplate.

cool, I was looking at that creative card on Newegg wondering if I could cut down the bracket but wasnt sure it would fit !
Now that I know it will, I hunt Ebay for a deal.....
Thanks !
