LiteOn 52x24x52 OEM
MSI GeForce FX5200 128MB DDR
Creative Sound Blaster Audigy Platinum
I'm building it for home use, a little gaming, a fair bit of 3D design, . . . and I want a nice sound system. I also want it to last me a year or two without costing a fortune or being outdated tomorrow.
I would very much appreciate your input
Thanks

For me i really like my all-in-wonder card. for my brother, he never uses the stuff that i use. he does different things. Just get what's best for you.
I'm just fed up with seeing "FX5200 is crap, avoid" all the time on gamer forums with absolutely no reasoning behind it. The remarks are usually aimed at people building PCs on the cheap and these dickhead gamers are saying buy Radeon 9600Pros which usually equate to half of their PC budget leaving no money for other parts and shafting the poor guy asking for advice. This is all just to feed their fanboy obsession while some poor person building a budget PC will suffer from ill informed advice.
P.S. The all in wonder cards are a good option for saving PCI slots on video input cards. I haven't actually had the chance to test one out tho.

the A-i-w is great. the capture quality is quite good. i have tested some cheap PCI Tuners/Capture cards, they are not worth the price. the quality on TV-Tuner is clearly crap!
capturing is a drag on thoes PCI cards also. If you want a PCI capture card that works you have to pull your credits together and buy a Matrox or other proffessional card that will cost more than just buying the a-w-i. (you have to pay for a good video card on top of that too).
I just LOVE my ATI all-in-wonder. i have had them since a-i-w 128 pro 32MB (that didn't work that good for capturing. i recommend anything like a-i-w r. 7500 or higher for capturing)
