One thing to watch out for is that some of those multi-port cards are 4 seperate ports (like taking the parts from 4 cards and mounting it on one physical card) thus giving you eth0, eth1, eth2, and eth3 on one card, but others are really just one port (eth0) with an on-board hub/switch. This may or may not matter to you, but it could certainly make a difference.

I just contacted Stay Online. They do have a LSI Logic 5232E-TP Intraserver card (quad port) but they are selling it for $200.00. I'm not familiar with LSI cards so I can't tell if that price is high or not. Sounds a little high. I'm going to wait and see how a couple on ebay play out before jumping on that one.
