NIGHT STALKER
Silly question: has anyone ever removed the backplane plate and RJ-45 connector to fit a CSII NIC directly into mobo slot? Looks like there might just be room enough to do that. You can trim quite a bit off that end of the board too. Lop it off right up to the thruholes for the RJ. The only component lost would be the LED and that could be wired from the vias to wherever. That's a full centimeter removed from face of backplane plate to just shy of the RJ thruholes. That way you could use CSII (low power draw spec) and a combo of fairly low power draw PCI cards at the same time. Maybe a USB card and a "just good enough" video card. [}]
