Oh man I forgot about these from my mining days! Do people use these for actual pcie expansions? I've never needed more than most mid to high end motherboards offer

I did it once with a mid atx that had only two slots but needed a card to boot and I wanted to put a networking card in the full sized slot so used one of these for the graphics card.

This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.
