Looking at all the SLI boards- there's not enough room.
Once you add in a sound card and one other pci card, your done.

what else do you need?
all mobs have built in ethernet now and USB2 and such, after you add a soundcard what else is there other then a TV Tuner card?
that still leaves you with 1 open PCI slot anyway
Ditto. Even my loaded system would work fine, as the 3 PCI slots are enough for my sound card, TV tuner, and even my SATA card(though a good highend would have more than the 2 SATA ports I have now, so there's really no need). The only other thing I could possibly image someone needing is a SCSI card or more NICs, and if that's the case, the TV tuner can be replaced with a USB version.Originally posted by: Anubis
