As I look at the ATX motherboards on Newegg's site (and TigerDirect), the number of PCI slots seem to default to 2-3 slots. There are a few 4 slot boards and no 5 slot-ers. I realise PCI-e slots need their room, but I like to space out my Hauppauge PVR-xxx tuners for air circulation. Am I looking in the wrong places, or should I be looking for something else?

I came into some Socket 478 CPUs on the cheap. I'm building a backend 
machine with a 2.53 GHz CPU and a 5 PCI slot board I got from geeks.com. 
It doesn't have a network port, but it  has an AGP slot and onboard 
graphics. I'll slam in a gigabit network card and a few tuner cards when 
the time comes.
