PCIx Accel cards work in PCI slots. You can probably get it going if you can find all the necessary installers these days. The ilok drivers can be a pain to find the appropriate ones. I've recently moved on to HDx, but I used a PCIx HD6 Accel rig in a PCIe chassis up until a year ago. I still have the old HD6 system as a backup.

I'm sure I have a bunch of the old installers on a hard drive. Let me know, and I can fire it up and email you files if needed. I also have a Pro Tools HD 7.4 license we could work out, if you decide to go that route.

One of the issues I remember about building windows HD Accel rigs are fitting the cards in. I remember having to dremel out a part of a heatsink fan to fit the card in in an older ASUS MB. Not sure if you'd have to do any of that type of surgery to the JetWay MB.
