I've still got two free PCI slots. I'm not using the device occupying one at all (a 56k modem, remember when I needed that? oh lord.) either.
Getting an older sound card wouldn't be much issue for me - it'd actually be the newer cards that'd pose a problem. I do have a PCI-e slot, but it's not true x16 and I'm using it for a video card anyway (which, honestly, seems far more important).

How in the world would the card still fit in the case with an adapter wedged under it?

| | Metal_Man88's Post | ...One would have to be a bit creative on that part.
My experience is just that if they manage to make a freaky adapter to use a CPU that isn't even in the same family as the motherboard it's on, they can make one to fit PCI into PCI-E slots, especially since there's more demand for that than for the weird CPU adapters I used.
