magma pci extension solutions all use bridges themselves and that's how many people use the hd cards!
i would say rather than building a pc around old pci cards just hunt for a magma expansion chassis.. and just install a pcie card in your existing machine...
magmas are made so that long full size pci cards always fit and get proper ventillation!

I decided to take the cheap way out and got it all working on the old G5 and finally sold it as a turnkey rig, along with the Control 24 and some odds and ends. At least it went to a good home
