In the x4 slot is a 10gbps NIC I got 6 years ago for $30.
Which is nice because boards with 10gbps are usually more than $30 more expensive and I have used it for two different PCs now.

In one of my two expansion slots, I do have a 10 Gbps Ethernet card though.

Dual Analog/Digital TV tuner card. Works with winTV7 software, like the only one that works with Windows 10.
What is that a DVBS2 card? That is definitely worthy of the nostalgic hardware thread. I thought that $250 was too much back in the day but if I knew what was going to happen to media I would have bought 3 and sold 2 to my best friends.

They only went to insane prices after they stop selling them. This card was like only $89 or less when I bought it.
I'm pretty sure it's a hauppauge 2250/2200
I've got two more & both the other ones TV applications all fail to even be usable in windows 10. One used QuickTime in its application software >.> Pretty sure that was an Asus one.

My last upgrade included a free X570-F motherboard but unfortunately it doesn’t support built-in Wi-Fi. I added a Gigabyte GC-WBAX210 card, which was probably for the best. The performance and overall experience with this little gigy has been FANTASTIC! Also got a decent but old sound card sitting around.. mobo audio has been great and i prefer not placing more stuff below the GPUs air intake.

How do you still have analogue signals?

I guess it was just NA that killed analogue TV?
it was hybrid dual tuner with digital. It also has FM radio on it.

2.5Gbe NIC. My primary PC's B550 board only has a 1Gbe NIC onboard. Home network switch is 2.5Gbe with a 10Gbe SFP+ DAC connection to our TrueNAS server.
My PC and my son's PC can slam the TrueNAS box with multiple 2.5Gbe connections and it scoffs at the network load.

Soundcard, the Creative Sound Blaster ZXR from 2012 to be precise.

Very much needed for my AKG K601 headphones.

Tried the onboard of my 2021 motherboard and it's flat, shallow and soulless sounding. The ZXR is still unmatched when it comes to onboard, and we're 12 years further now. Either people use shitty headphones or we have no quality standards anymore.
Same here. ZXR is still a great sound card today.

How do you still have analogue signals?

I guess it was just NA that killed analogue TV?
If it makes you feel any better, they killed it off in Norway too. :p

It's rough. I want to see more x1 cards appear on the market so I have more stuff to throw into the rack.

OK.

Four machines with Asus XG-C100C 10Gig Ethernet cards and LSI SAS3442E-R cards for LTO tape drives
Two HP servers with Mellanox Connect X2 10Gig SFP+ cards and USB3 cards
Two machines with Solarflare 7122 SFP+ 10Gig cards and Dell H200 SAS HBA reflashed to LSI IT-mode (Initiator-Target)
Two machines with Solarflare 7122 SFP+ LSI SAS2008 HBA in IT-mode

In some server systems, I forgo a separate GPU card and use the iGPU, to free up a valuable PCIe slot for a 10Gig NIC or SAS controller.

No lack of x4, x8 and x16 slots in my X99 Xeon and HP servers.
