boy this list is a big help!
I just "chatted" with the live tech support guy at firewiredirect.com and he
says that USB is also supplied power through the HDD power cable on the
combo card. FYI
so I bought one for $109.95.
are you guys using those cards in a particular slot?
are all your 6 slots filled up?
does the monitor card really have to be in the bottom slot?
thanks,
Teddy
