http://cgi.ebay.ca/NEW-INTEL-BOXDG41MJ- ... 286.c0.m14
it has a normal intel chipset and everything
i was trying a via one for my project, and besides no having SATA, it is a piece of crap.(via chipset) and it doesnt even feel like booting to windows half the time.
luckily that one was free
i shall donate it to the roadside scroungers.

Layout of the board looks like it might cramp the Scope card, verify against the location of the SATA connectors & whatever that is on the far end of the board (far right) versus the card being installed. Also might want to check & make sure what revision/keying the PCI slot has, ie. for 5v compatibility.

I am putting it in a 2u project box, and using a 90 degree PCI riser, as long as the PCI slot is close to the edge it should be fine.
the 5v though i have to make sure of that. I have asked on intel forum, it needs to be PCI 2.3 or lower.

Right, thankfully the keying is enough to figure this out, you just need a top-down image of that board.
Compared to the
image in Newegg's listing (click on image to use 'image viewer') it seems to be a 5v slot, assuming the ports at the rear are the rear for the PCI slot (a safe bet eh.) Btw notice that the price is only 76.99 USD (~83.99 CAD) on Newegg.
