Thanks Tim, plenty of outputs, two USB outs onthe SOTM card alone !

Good value at the price, less than the cost of the parts!
The Sotm card makes a good improvement if your running into a USB dac.

You are welcome, nice price as Gaz says and with the G630T it will be good on power consumption too ;)

Good solution for someone who doesn't have the skills to DIY.

That's correct parts and software alone were over £1000,
Keith.

[Griffy]

Flippin eck. Bargain at that price.

You won't come close to building anything on par for less than £800+

The SOTM USB card is quite expensive on its own, not sure of the current price?
Keith.

[Mark Grant]

£299 to £350 for the SOTM card:

SATA filters £49 each and there might be two if this has two drives?

Not bad at all for the price.
