1 PCI slot (total) Thkning abotu upgrading.

[spankenstein]

I've got a Shuttle PC and ended up with the model that has only one PCI slot. I've got an M-Audio Delta 1010LT right now and would like to expand the number of analog inputs (the only ones I really use). Obviously the simple answer is a firewire device but none that I've seen seem to have a wordclock input which I'm assuming will be necesary.

The other options is getting a 4U case and a motherboard and moving everything into that and adding another 1010. Doing that would make it all rackmountable so I could have a reasonably portable recording rig?

Any suggestions or ideas here? I'm really torn between the two options.

I was going to say the RME Hammerfall, but then I forgot you can only do one per PCI card. If you need multiple per PCI card, (which is what it sounds like), then MOTU sounds like the thing. Get a PCI-324 or 424 and add a bunch of 2408s or 24i/os. That should last you for a while...
