Matrox RT.X2 Physical size
I was all set to trial the Matrox RT.X2 and I had told the Matrox people what motherboard I had. However, that is not enough. My case is not big enough to handle the board’s extreme length.
So, sorry about that, but I won’t be reporting on the usefulness of the RT.X2 unless I can find a new PC case to put my equipment into.

That’s too bad, Steven. I was loking forward to your review, especially from the perspective of a long time Cineform advocate.
I have found that the RTX2 craves a quad core (or even dual quad Xeons). The export and render speed is quite astounding. It’s great to see eight cores going full tilt in task manager as your HD timeline (native HDV) downconverts and encodes to an SD DVD at around 5x real time. By the way, a great line of cases for the RTX2 are the InWin S-series (single CPU systems). Extremely quiet (and they will accept a full size card).

Matrox is looking to help me out so I will be able to do the review after all, I believe. Stay tuned. It looks like they have some people on the ball who want this review done. Certainly a good sign. I would be perfectly happy to try the RT.X2 out and then realize I really like it. If I do, I do. If not, so be it. They believe that I will like it. It is certainly worth my time to give it a thorough analysis.
