Yep, I agree, its a great shame, as it's the best design I've seen in terms of the expansion boards and the spec of the boards themselves is good. Liantec uses the same form factor for all its expansion boards across all its mainboards, including 3.25", and therefore are most of the way to setting an industry standard that could have great benefits. By comparison, Jetway have different daughterboards for different mainboards, and Via... well, nuff said
rayjr13, were you quoted those prices as an OEM or as an end-user?
With Intel getting into the market now with some very good value boards, even OEMs will be tempted to look elsewhere.
I think it'd be great if one of the main industrial etailers like Linitx, Logicsupply or ICP could be tempted into approaching Liantec, and maybe increased volumes through retails sales may bring the price down...
