I talked to DPS Tech support today and found out that their PCI audio board is going to be full length also. I can only manage two full length PCI cards on my SuperMicro mobo without losing the heat/sink fan combo. The tech at DPS mentioned adapters for PCI slots that raise the card up about an inch or so allowing the card to clear most heat sink/fans. I asked him if there were any problems with these "adapters" effecting performance, and he said that they were going to be testing them to see if there are any adverse effects. Has anyone else heard of this? It would really solve my problem as I can't really lose the fan/heatsink. Just thought I throw it out here to see what everyone thinks- Thanks John
