Don't get me started. I opened a $30,000 XP-based A/V box at work the other day to find out it had some crappy $50 pseudo RAID card doing RAID 1. I didn't buy it so I kept myself from looking around at the rest of the parts to avoid discouraging behaviour.
Oh, don't worry about it. We bought the hardware accelerator for the nortel contivity box, because, as you can probably see, a 700mhz PIII might need some help. $3k or some such. Opened it up, andit was a hifn. I showed my boss soekris's site, where a similar hifn card (one model number down iirc) was $89. I laughed my ass off.
