Well, if you're in that monetary ballpark you might as well look at SuperMicro 
as well.  The P6DLH has 9-PCI slots (we had really good luck with P6DNH2's with 
PPro 200's 8-PCI slots).  The onboard i960's seemed to boost the IO performance 
quite nicely.  Ok, you're lookin' at ~$650.

That's my 2 cents,
