Not quite the HOWTO I am looking for / need. This is more a hotwo on one

option rather than on the different options available.
I think such a howto might be useful and would be willing to write one if

people would be willing to answer questions coming from an ignorant (in the

field) person's perspective.

This would need a motherboard with 3 free PCI slots right?

These options would just need one free PCI or PCIe slot. Not bad, portability

may be an issue. Do I build a rack with a silent rack mount PC, 3 adat

interfaces (8 ins each)
