I've noticed that the motherboards with the new 7895 chip on them are
pretty cheap. ~500$cdn will get you a Dual PII BX with onboard Intel
100mbit ethernet and a pair of onboard UW SCSI channels. The newest stable
kernel (.34) supports it all, and it's all onboard so you don't wast any
slots.
Last I checked the 3940UW is a multichannel controller, rather a bit of
overkill for a single device :> I usually get the 2940UW or some
equiv.

Get a nice AGP Matrox card and you'll be set :>
