PCIe riser card or cable

[petertew]

Hey guys,

I'm looking to mount my video card horizontally rather than vertically. I would like a PCIe x16 cable that would function like a riser card (I could do a riser card as well, but the cable is preferred), but I've only been able to find a really expensive cable extender.

Anyone know of a cheap (25 or less) PCIe cable or riser card?

Thanks.

eBay has quite a few fixed 1U/2U risers in your price range:

There is also this flex-riser and its just a bit outside your price range:

I have that exact flex-riser in my HTPC and it is working great with the 9600GT in my sig.

Adex has an awesome selection of risers. Their website is really terrible so try to not get an eye sore...

We can cancel this thread folks!!!

After searching for hours i couldnt find a cable long enough, and the longest ones where 54 bucks!!! and i needed it to be twice as long.

I googled Pcie1 in pcie4 slot and ppl said stuff would work, i swapped my Wifi card thats a PCi1 to the 4 and its working.

Hopefully i have the same results for the capture card

Nope, didnt work in my other slot, i dont know why my wifi did but the capture did.

I put it in a pci slot that i thought it wouldnt fit, it's touching my NB
