Uh oh, here comes the "biggest sunrescuer" thread again. :)

I think I estimated shipping weight as packaged at 186 pounds, but that
seems a bit high (my arms are sore, not detached). I had a shipment of 5
U30s (40# each or so), 2 24" sun monitors (107# each or so), and 4 SSA
114s, and total weight was 1159#. I might be a bit off on the U30s, but
that should be pretty close.

Yow. Maybe I won't run two at home then. Not sure I have 8A to spare :) 

Does anyone know if/where the PCI FC25 card exists? Or is it another
unobtainium component?
