Actually I took a couple more pics with my phone (My Digicam is out of order), but none of them came out properly and I had already installed the card before I checked the pics.
As for damages, the total came to around 8.9k. Fatal1ty Champion actually costs $200 in the US, but there was a $60 discount when I bought it. This takes my total headphone audio upgrade cost to a freaking 22k.

From whatever pre-purchase research I had done, X Fi Forte has better analog electronics + Built in Headphone amplifier to boot, but I intended to use digital out for the most part and I also have a discrete Headphone amplifier in the form of my A40 MixAmp. So Forte's positive points didn't matter to me too much. Further one major issue I had with the forte is that its a half height card but with a longer length. I think forte would have been impossible or at least very difficult to install in my rig because of the choice of components and the layout I have in my rig.
