 |  Soundblaster X-FI ? Hey whats up its me again lol. I was thinking about purchasing a SoundBlaster X-FI Platinum. Do anyone know some kind of way i can buy some special rails cause i dont think my door would close on my case (due to the knobs) but i have a tsunami dream i can only install my drives with a railing system. But if not i'd be happy with a Soundblaster X-FI XtremeMusic card instead.

It might fit, there should be a little bit of clearence, the knobs dont look huge. I use Vantec nexus' in cases with doors all the time. I actually have the opposite problem, if i put my floppy drive/card reader all the way back in the rails its about a quarter inch back from the rest of the bezel.

hmm i know what you are talking about my friend has a fan controller. And he has his fan controller pushed all the way back so he can close the door. but i'll find some kind of solution for this problem if not i wouldnt mind if i had to go with the other card.

| Got to say I don't think you'll be missing much with the added x-ram that comes with the extra bucks, but I liked the idea of getting ready for future compliance. I had to take the door clip off my case for it to shut properly. But it does just about work. Last edited by z0mbi3; 02-May-06 at 07:43 AM. |

| I have the tsunami dream and I have a fan controller installed in it. I dont have any problems with the door not closing or anything. The knobs stick out about .5"
