I'm not advertising against novatech, but some of the prices on there are
much more expensive than www.Aria.co.uk, they're based in Manchester and
have some good hardware prices (I'm not associated in any way, but i have
never found anywhere with better prices for hardware, and because they
include lots of specifics, you can see if the hardware is supported on
Linux, like most of the Jetway motherboards don't work on Ubuntu for some
odd reason...
