Mini PC with 2x PCI Slots?

Does anyone know if any of the current mini-pc designs support 2 PCI slots?
If so, any pointers to where I could buy one would be appreciated! (I need
two slots to house 2xTV Tuner cards)

TIA

Available from CCL (much better than ocuk).

Err, no it doesn't. I ordered one of these from Overclockers a couple
of weeks ago and it has one PCI slot and one AGP slot. It does have
space for two 5.25" devices though, providing you don't install a full
length AGP or PCI card.

Oh well Overclockers web site innacuracies.

Thanks, put me off buying one that did. I think I'll get an AMD64
based shuttle box....when I have some money that is.

If a mini-itx box would be powerful enough for you then you could try
http://www.mini-itx.com/store/ and get something with a larger case and a
pci riser.

Thanks for the suggestions.
Sadly, mini-ITX wouldn't have quite the power I'd need for my little
project. If all else fails I may just look for the smallest 'normal' case I
can find (I'm assuming desktop cases are still available!)

Give one of the Asus cases a try (they have them on show at
overclockers in the barebones section). Lot of other places do them
too.

If you have the cash, substitute one TV tuner and your graphics card for an
All-In-Wonder graphics card.
