I have a 5i25 card that needs to be used but late model PC's do not seem

are on ebay and such will drive a 5i25?
It might be better to find a motherboard with PCI. They do seem to
exist, for example: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/265833574406
Better yet, there are PC "liquidaters" scattered about the landscape
here, and old Dell Dimensions or
Optiplexs's are off lease, sometimes below $200 w/o the hard drives,
which means they also take the
windows legally and use it elsewhere. About 2 years ago I got tired of
having LCNC on 4 different
machines, each with their own quirks and bought 4 of them for $600 &
change, Rugged, well built,
they've a 5i25 socket but only 2 sata connectors. I put $40 small SSD's
in them and 3 are running
3 of my machines now. Stable, run from power failure to power failure.
The 4th was running Cura,
and feeding two 3d printers but lost its video in a storm, so now those
2 printers each have their
own rock64 running octoprint. And a ups each to protect them from the
next storm.
Cheers, Gene Heskett.
