Why not get the X-Fi ? If its in your budget though, it well nicely compliment such a good system...

which is the most cheapest XFi available here guys , really wanted to know this.

 

[Chaos]

Cheapest XFi is 129$. Not sure if its available in India.

 

[Quad Master]

Cheapest is 5805Rs gr8 then.

Thanks for the info Chaos.

Also plz lemme know if someone spots a XFi here.

 

[Anish]

If you really wanna buy X-Fi, no point in buying it here.

Also don't settle for anything less than the X-Fi Music, if you do then your better off with an Audigy 2ZS which is available here...
