SB makes some great hardware. The Live! series was an amazing card - the Audigy and Audigy 2 now eclipse it but IMHO the Live! is still a VERY viable card for any application other than audio production.
You will hit a snag, however, with drivers. Creative sucks at writing drivers, and they suck worse at supporting legacy products. Since the live is now considered a legacy product by Creative, you may have trouble in a year or so getting it to work with new hardware (dvd decoders, etc). It probably won't be an issue before you upgrade anyway though.
