This is excellent. I for one, would be willing to shell out for 8<br>drives in a raid and the card. Whats the next step from here?<br>Linux drivers?</blockquote><div><br>Yes, Linux drivers, and, assuming you don't have HDMI output from your cable box, something to convert component to HDMI, like this:
