I am looking for a good case to house my Digium PCI cards, I was hoping to mount them in the front for cleaner access then in the back. Unfortunately I haven't found much, does anyone have a good recommendation for chassis to use up to six digium cards?

The PCI bus only has 4 interrupt lines. Anything over that is shared. -- Steven Critchfield <critch@basesys.com>

Except that particular one wouldn't work for some cards because it is PCI 2.1, not 2.2.
I am running six reliably right now.
