So I should find a motherboard with many PCI-E 1X and buy many risers to build a cost efficient mining rig?

If you have done any research on the forum which is vast, you should quickly realise that ive your suggestion was possible then everyone would be doing it. But instead EVERYONE buys mobos with as many pcie slots as possible or use products that expand existing slots with other pcie hubs.

Have you ever BUILT a computer (from parts) before?  If not, this is probably not a project you should undertake.

You have three open slots there.  Why aren't you using them?
Ok, I want you to walk back in there and very calmly, very politely tell the risk assessors to fuck off! -Mark Baum

Never seen those 1-to-4 adapters before... Are they really working? How is the hashrate? Does Windows recognise all cards hooked up via this thing automagically? I have my doubts...

There's an 8-way that plugs into your full-length x16 slot, too.

Has anyone tested this?  It looks promising due to the fact they are using a PLX chip.
