looking for an industrial/scientific system, 8 pci slots

i need a box with a lot of expansion slots, for what i guess you would call industrial I/O. like, for example, having 32 RS232 ports. can anyone recommend a builder who makes odd things like that?

thanks,

skullmunky

Just need four PCI slots. Hopefully the card works in Linux.

Could just make it out of USB.

Are you sure you need RS-232 because for longer distances and a little more resilient to voltage use RS-485 instead.
