That is really cool, and it actually doesn't look that hard to do. Maybe it's somthing I should consider doing to my video card.

I'll need PCI with this board:

No onboard sound and I have a separate Tv Tuner card along with a RAID card I intend to use (it doesn't have onboard PATA RAID).

Would almost rather have the Tyan one listed against the MSI one, but it's too expensive:

Yeah, both are excellent except this lil' detail:

MSI = $325 CAN
Tyan = $640 CAN


Almost twice the price and I don't really need PCI-E (the controllers usually run about $225 so that only brings the price up even more).
