You mean PCI-E? If you really need PCI-X, then you're out of luck. PCI-X 
is only available on server boards. For a single port ISDN, one of those 
Mini-ITX boxes should work. I built something similar using a Mini-ITX 
(1GHz CPU) with an AVM Fritz! PCI ISDN card using chan_capi. IIRC, 
Xorcom has a TS-1 which is a SFF Asterisk server for <$500. BTW, I don't 
think the Mini-ITX mobos can support PCI-E.
