Leadtek's Cell based WinFast PxVC1100 video transcoding card has been listed in the EU for €156.
The WinFast PxVC1100 is based on Tohsiba's SpursEngine SE1000 BXA32110 Cell processor and uses four cores for encoding/decoding video content.
Mind you, although it's a PCIe x1 card, the PxVC1100 apparently manages to transcode MPEG2 HD video to H.264 2.9 times faster than a quad-core Core 2 CPU at 3GHz.
We still have no availability dates for this interesting product, but you can find the listings here.
