Building Rig & Avoiding Fire

Kk cool!

Are we talking about the same seller?  http://www.ebay.com/itm/PCI-e-express-1X-to-16x-Riser-Extender-Card-with-molex-power-30CMS-USB-3-0-Cable-/321272676674?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4acd580142#ht_2368wt_1188

They are expensive on there... but what I did was went directly to the site http://eshop.sintech.cn/index.php?main_page=advanced_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=PCI-e+express+1X+to+1X%2F16x+Ris  Not sure if its any different in terms of how soon something will be shipped, but it's a little cheaper even with the shipping costs.

Just out of curiosity, now that were dealing with USB 3.0, is there any way to put a USB hub/splitter in between and run several PCIE cards off of one 1x?  I'm probably thinking way out there! But the more cards you can get on a single Mobo, the better right?  *lets assume power is unlimited *

$30 now! He's raising his prices by the day!

I contacted the seller about getting more of them, and was told that they wouldn't ship out for at least a week.

No, it's not acual USB signalling going thru the cable, it's still a PCI-e 1x lane signals.

I have the 1M long version and notice no problems. I even have the USB cables bundled together and coiled on themselves a few times, trying to antagonize something. Seems to be fine, I imagine USB 3.0 is pretty well shielded. Plus isn't pci-e 1x ~400mb/s, or about the same as usb 3.0?

That e-bay seller is turning out to be a slimeball though. He seems to keep increasing the price, but still hasn't shipped the cables I ordered days ago at a lower price. A real bummer, only place to get them  

Hi Mate what PCI-E to USB3.0 part were you referring too?? I can only find something like this (http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Combo-PCI-E-Card-Adapter-2-Ports-USB-3-0-eSATA-3-0-SATA-3-0-20-Pin-extender-/190898812868?pt=AU_Components&hash=item2c7274b7c4)
