You could!  But a quick search of google shows my price is not unreasonable.  Searching ebay US sellers finds my price low as well.  If you can order from China and can wait 3 weeks you can get a much better deal.

Yeah, I am aware. It's a niche product. I guess it's good if you have a lot of cards or have a special case mod that needs redirection of the card.

I personally use older cases and a single video card per when I can but those older cases are not always easy to find (they used to be!).  Now with a newer case you can not fit the card in unless it is a high end gaming rig case.  So I used one of these to allow me to use a small case I had and have the card on the side.

I see. Well, here's how my perspective works: If I am going to be reduced to something as cheap as an old case, I might as well throw it together in a plastic crate or cardboard box. : P

Yes, they both have advantages.  The old case does hold everything in place (with a screw or two)  and while it is fugly, it wont short out if i bump it.   

But a free plastic crate is.... FREE!

It looks exactly like mine, especially the 2 blue stripes.  I got it on ebay for way way less.

Just search "PCI Riser Card" from an Hong Kong seller, but the shipping delay sucks big time.

Sometimes 21 days. 

I have a lower price listed then any US seller with 1 bitcoin=$1 (and it is worse for bitcoin now)

I also have a lower price then any stocking seller on shopping tab of google.com

If you want something with a at least a chance to work at 2.0 speeds, look for chinese clone of ADEX PE-FLEX16.

So my cable is not generating bitcoins at 2.0 speeds?  It seems to be doing fine right now.
