Wow, I haven't been back here in a while, but Octane still looks like a great option. I remember when I suggested the Octane developers seek out a relationship with Magma for an alternate PCI expansion option to Cubix and was dismissed out of hand.

I don't know much about Cubix, but I do know Magma (http://www.magma.com) has pretty much the same and more hardware options within the same categories.
