X-fi Xtreme Music vs X-fi XtremeGamer

I'm gonna be making a home theatre PC, and the X-fi Elite is way out of budget, and the platinum has the front I/O box which i dont want... so i suppose i'm down to these two cards - the Xteme Music, and XtremeGamer.



I've heard the Xtreme Music is the same as the platinum without the front I/O box, is this true?



so... which would be more suited to movies and general home theatre use?

... ?
