Screaming_Rabbit Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Does anybody know if there is something available to lay down PCI cards horizontally to the Mainboard... some adapter or so?Thanks and GreetsRoger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jidis Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 Roger,Yes there are 90 degree "riser" cards (adapters actually). I've looked at them for a single board computer I've got. You can find them on eBay IIRC, and at some electronics outlets online. I think there were not only different heights available, but also left and right turn ones. They're used for short bodied (1U/2U) rackmount computers a lot, so a rack case dealer may sell them too. I think they should cost only a few bucks if you're lucky.Take Care,GeorgePS- Obviously make sure you've got clearance for your other onboard stuff. :o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stryd_one Posted February 2, 2007 Report Share Posted February 2, 2007 I'm pretty sure I've seen them... Yep I got the name right, they're referred to as PCI riser cards. Google gets me this http://www.mini-itx.com/store/?c=8 flexible cable which should be fine, and there are also ones with multiple slots from one, but you might want to make sure these will actually work with your mobo.Beaten hheheheEdit: http://www.tmc-uk.com/supports/general_faqs/riser_card.htm good info :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kris Posted February 3, 2007 Report Share Posted February 3, 2007 yes as already said pci riser cards i used one in my midibox computer all in one they are available in left hand or right hand with one or two slots any itx computer supplier will have them the problem ive had with the one i use is that it rides out of the pci slot on the board sometimes ive even thought about soldering it in but at the moment i just relocate it regularly kris ps i tried one of the ones with a flexible ribbon cable and i couldnt get three different versions of it to work so it went back apparently the pci format is low power so you cant extend the connection to far as i thought about making my own ribbon cable pci extenders so i could mount the cards any where in the case Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OrganGrinder Posted February 25, 2007 Report Share Posted February 25, 2007 hithere are also raiser cards available for pci-e and pci-x.don't worry too much about pci-x because pci-e is far superior from what i have heard.and if you are particularly desperate, i might be able to find an isa raiser card in my spare parts bin (LOL)OrganGrinder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
