Seems like a VERY limited market.  There's certainly nothing stopping
someone 
who thinks that they can make a buck at it from doing something similar 
though...

Just remember that using a secondary PCI card to do the heavy lifting means 
that you just doubled your PCI bus usage at a minimum, and quadrupled it in 
most cases.
