And does the fact that they dominate the pro market mean anything? I work on a 
Mac with 1 PCI slots (my personal rig has 10). I prefer using an expansion 
chassis as there is more flexibilty in choosing sizes. I also don't want them 
to make a bigger chassis which won't fit into a 19" rack, which is a 
requirement for pro use. Maybe they exsist (I haven't looked very hard) but I 
haven't seen any 6 slot PCs that are rackable (not that finding a 6 slot 
rackable PC is a criteria for me).
