"Best Soundcard below $250. Seriously."
Feature:
This soundcard doesn't have many fancy features, but what it does do, it does perfectly. For the vast majority of people, your sounds' limiting factor will be your other equipment, not this card. I've never gotten better sound out of my stereo.
Mind you, you can only have two input channels, and two output channels, which almost always ends up being stereo. Still, amazing for its price.
Quality:
Looks nice, sounds nice. Rugged for a sound card.
Value:
Easy to use, Sounds great. Definitely worth your $107.
Desirability:
Ah... is blue. Is nice.
Come on! It's a sound card. Even if this one is plain, everything ever made by Soundblaster is still like the hunchback of Notre Dame or something. For a sound card, it's lovely.
Sound:
Obviously not the best sound out there, but quite probably the best sound for its price. It's hard to tell, because it's good enough that my speakers are holding it back. o_O
Ease of Use:
I triple boot Ubuntu Linux, Mac OS X, and Windows Vista. This soundcard works perfectly for me in all three- no fiddling around in menus, not even in the notoriously finicky Linux. I've had more trouble with setting up (shudder) integrated soundcards than with this one.
Support:
I haven't needed this card repaired, but I've dealt with M-Audio's customer service before and they are quite nice.
Overall:
As I've mentioned already, this soundcard is being held back by my other equipment. If/when I upgrade to the point that it's the other way around, I'll have to upgrade this too. Until then, it's worth it for sure.

"Awesome!!"
Feature:
I like the way it can be used as a primary or secondary soundcard. For any house computer this thing really gets the job done.
Quality:
Pretty good, it hasn't broken or even failed to do what it's supposed to do yet.
Value:
Reall cheap, with overnight shipping. .......Metal!!!
Desirability:
For a 100 dollars. C'mon
Sound:
I used it to record an album over the summer and when I connected my Roland Hard Disk Recorder into it, it basically transferred all the music on it digital and it sounds badass.
Ease of Use:
Just plug in load software and you're ready to go.
Support:
none. Didn't need any
Overall:
Damn good, buy it, buy it now
