Ahem.

See sig.

I had seen your project before but i didn't realize these were already commercially available.

Yeah, they are available but you will pay a pretty penny. I can pretty much guarantee you that the blue board above wouldn't go for a penny less than $1000, probably closer to $1500. The board in OP might be closer to $750 or so.

There are quite a number of similar products. How much do those from Onestopsystems.com cost?

Have you guys seen these? I was at an electronics trade show today and saw a booth for these guys. I had no idea these existed in the market right now. They also have rack mount enclosures designed to accomidate full size PCIe cards. I thought it was pretty cool.
