eBay

Just search for PCI riser and you'll find all the risers you need.

Some are listed with free worldwide shipping:)

Be careful with the cheap stuff, some people get their cards/mobos ruined because of low quality risers

Seriously, go to cablesaurus, or I think there might even be a guy that makes them here on the forums.

Probably get one with the molex power as 7970's suck a lot of power. You might end up with a burnt MB if the power isn't enough.

Hence why you buy more expensive ones. Cheaper doesn't mean better.

Still willing to bet that the cablesaurus ones are the exact same as the $2 eBay ones

Doubt it, but you can ask. When dealing with $100s in high end computer hardware, I think that $8 for an extender isn't a problem if it is a higher quality.
