Flexible PCI slot extender thingo...

Hyena · 30th March 2006, 8:44 AM

Hey guys.
I dunno if such a thing exists, but I'd after a flexible adaptor for a PCI slot - something that plugs into the slot on the motherboard and has a cable on it that plugs onto the card which could be layed down elsewhere.
A horizontal riser card won't work because I actually want to move the card over to the other side of a small case I'm trying to fit everything in to.

Thanks

Yes..

Used in servers etc..

You can break out one PCI slot to say 3.. as well.

Pathes are usually short tho. a few inches at most..

Cool, do you know what they're called so I can try and track one down ?

You could have a go at making one, as long as you have an old dead pci card with an intact golden finger, and a pci slot off an old motherboard, you should be able to do it , Id be very careful with the wireing though.
