Unfortunately, these riser cards (from what I remember) could handle
less cards than I would like.  Also, having the ability to override any
on-board video with an add-in AGP board is always good...

if at all.

I'm pretty happy with custom low-profile micro ATX stuff since it's
fairly easy to come by...Also, I really like the slimness...
