Would an extra bit of hardware such as a PCI card with PLX's PCI9030 breaking out to the USRP with something like an 80 wire IDE cable be suitable for high bandwidth, low latency and lowish cost?

You might be able to do gigabit ethernet if you just pushed out the data to and from the USRP in plain old ethernet frames directly to a gigabit ethernet port on the PC. No IP headers and no switches in between.

I know someone who used gigabit ethernet driver chips hooked to an FPGA in order to push lots of digitised SVGA video data down a long length of CAT5e for a KVM application.

Latency with Gig E should be less than we're currently seeing with USB
given the higher data rate.  Without a doubt, a bus-interfaced USRP
would have lower latency, however there are lots of trade-offs.
