The Box and the Bundle

The HTHD box is really quite small but heavy for the size.  The box is loaded with specifications and logos to catch your attention and sink the hook for the sale.  Even if you’re not sure what all these logos and the numbers refer to all the info and pictures have your eyes bouncing from one to the next.

 A closer look at the Home Theater HD 7.1
One thing you notice right away is this card is packed with components.  On initial inspection the top of the card handles the HDMI audio/video tasks.  The bottom half of the card handles the analog outputs.

Let’s have a look at the rear of the card at the expansion options.  We seen the And_EXT Pin Header which has connections for the front panel I/O found on most modern PC cases.
