[QUOTE="Tech Geek, post: 40953, member: 18181"] S/PDIF boards usuallly aren't cheap. Most are priced at about $25 and anything I've seen cheaper is rarely in stock. That's half the price of my motherboard that needs one and why I chose a board that has it built in for my HTPC. I think the boards cost the companies about $5 to build so it's kind of a ripoff but what can you do? Best of luck. If you are handy with a soldering iron you can buy a firewire extender cable, cut and end off and solder the wires together. If you solder on a connector then it would be easier to return to factory condition. [/QUOTE]
