Gotcha. Amended list:

total: $645 with a $30 in rebates
In the past, a friend of mine has bought a rebate from me at ~70% of face
value. As I hate rebates, and he makes money that way, it's an acceptable
solution. I'll see if he'll do it again.

PCI-E: 2x
SATA: I have no SATA drives, but just in case there are 4 of them
4-pin molex: 1x
24-pin mobo: implemented as 20 + 4
So I think I'm set.
What does this mean:
SLI Support Yes
I don't see any connectors logically connected to SLi.
