Slotless in Seattle

So I'm putting my new PC together. So far I've installed the motherboard, the CPU, the video card.

I have one slot free.

Because the motherboard includes a wireless adaptor, which takes up one slot, and two USB panels, which each take up a slot, and a USB/Firewire panel, which takes up a slot. And the video card has a little daughter-board for HDTV, which takes up yet another slot.

Without actually installing any expansion cards, six out of a theoretical seven slots are gone.

Fortunately, the motherboard also includes eight SATA ports, two Gigabit Ethernet ports, eight-channel sound, and SP-DIF in and out, so I'm not in a hurry to add anything.
