Why pay $250+ for an SB? Isn't this overkill?
I bought mine, because the SB is silent in my audio system. The fans and disks are in the basement. And it is small, getting a mainboard that small will cost nearly as much. I even put Kimber Cables in the wall and high dollar speaker wires so I could put the amp in the basement, But the SB is easier to use and so I put the amp back up between the speakers.
