I don't but I've seen them about $400 on ebay.  They come up once 
every 6 months or so.  I don't even have an octane yet.  Thats coming 
probably after the first of the year at this rate.  (I had HOPED to 
have it now but I keep getting more damn BILLS.)  so for now I have 
an Indigo2.  So the EISA comes first, then the PCI one.
