Onboard tube audio for AOpen

Saw this over at Slashdot and have to agree this is one of the oddest and funniest things to come around for motherboards in quite a while. Can't wait to see the reviews for this one.

Odd. Anyone who like tubes already has an audio system costing many thousands of dollars. Nobody serious about sound quality listens to music on a computer, and the tube sound isn't going to appeal to people accustomed to the harsh and bright sound of mass-market electronics.
 
I have a tube guitar amp and man-oh-man do those suckers get hot...somehow this does not seem like such a great idea.
