Can't say for ASUS cards, but for Auzentechs, where are you getting your information??   #1, if you get an X-Fi based card, they're simply the best for gaming support.  You'll need to install Creative ALchemy to translate EAX to OpenAL. #2, I've setup multiple people on X-Fi Forte cards...

The case that the Tangent tutorial recommends is much too large for the parts listed. An Altoids tin is a perfect fit

I finally received my Black Gates today and soldered it in. If you're having trouble with solder in the holes, heat it up from the back of the board and push the capacitor leg through at the same time. Doing that was much easier than trying to use wick to soak up the solder.

Replaced the opamp with the LM4562 today. Thanks for the guide! I just need to order and replace the capacitor next.

Hi! It's a shame that none of the Canadian companies (Digi-key, RP Electronics, Sayal) carry 1500 uF caps.. They carry the other ones I need though.
