Julius,

  Are you suggesting PXE now comes standard on all PCI
cards nowadays?  For experimentation, I recently got a
set-top box case that uses mini-ITX boards, has USB
and PS/2 port on front and has a PCI slot on the back.


  My two (soon to be three) labs biggest point of
failure is in the switches.  It's very infrequent
(about once every couple of months) but devistating
when it does occur.  So the extra PCI card is critical
in setting up a reduntant network....if I want to
propose this solution for a new building going up down
here...with some 200+ workstations.

  The problem remains that the fanless Eden board's
PCI with riser faces the side, not the back of the
card (where all the ports are.  

  Is there a PCI extender type thing with a ribbon
cable?  That would be perfect... Only getting an
external power brick would make it better.  Don't know
why they put an internal power supply to a fanless
set-top box case, knowing it's going to get hot.  But
in my case, I want it for maintainability.
