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.
