Post by: fruitcommander on April 22, 2013, 02:46:40 PM
I need 2 1x to 16x risers, and 2 16x to 16x risers amazon doesn't have any that don't ship from China. Thanks in advance.

Lookup micro sata cables on amazon and ebay. I ordered from them before you can get 1 day shipping from usa.

Wow theres a huge markup for being in the USA it seems. $3 shipped from china, or $40 one day shipping in the US :o

It is usually cheaper to go with a 1-2 card setup per computer.  The problem is having that many machines decreases efficiency and takes up more space, needs more ethernet ports and cables in general.

The savings are that you get more watts per dollar as far as PSU is concerned and you don't need to rely on risers and the delays they cause.

A word of warning for those purchasing on ebay.  There is one scammer / fraudulent member there selling cables (or well taking money).  I am a 15 year vet with Ebay and have 0 bad feedback.  I'm still waiting on a purchase from this vendor from 4-10!!!  The items are NOT in the USA as seller claims.  I got an international fee for processing the order.

DO NOT BUY FROM BRIWING or their store dreambestbuyau


-Items not in USA!
-Not signed up for ebay return service!
-Active continuing auction prevents opening claims!
-If resolution is a refund you cannot leave feedback!
-Not to mention their pricing has been raised over 500% since I purchased on 4-10 (was 4.00 ea now listing at 24.00 ea)

I must say, in 15 years of ebay; this is the worst and most sketchy transaction I've ever done.  It appears as though, at best, I'll get a refund and have to find cables elsewhere.  If you need cables order from some other vendor.
