External sound card housing

[sw17]

Hi all

I have just been given a christmas present by my wife of an M-Audio audiophile 192 sound card. Fantastic.
But the problem now, is that my Pc requires a half-height card to get it in the PCI slot.

Anyone know of an external housing I could buy that would mean I could get the benefit of my lovely soundcard
without having to get another PC ? 🙂

Thanks

You might want to consider buying a new computer case capable of full-height and just swap out the guts. Options to buy external pci docks seem prohibitively expensive, and most likely require special ports.
