Looks expensive..
PCI Express Expansion
Magma Express Box
And... kinda lacking a slot to insert the card into? The product blurb says it's a testing and diagnostic tool, not an actual extension.

If you are referring to the first product listed, it does have a slot on it. It plugs into your existing PciE slot and you would plug the card into the unit hat is attached with the cable. Whether or not that one is specifically to diagnose cards attached to it or if it lets you use the card attached to it, there are other products listed that seem designed to do what you want. I even listed another link above that shows an item that does it.. but like i said.. it's expensive too.|

You'd be better off just bringing a laptop to work and using that instead... or buying a larger case for the computer there. lol
Here's a question - since I'll probably be replacing my GPU for the upcoming ultra mode, I was thinking about plugging my current card into the computer at work. Unfortunately, since it's one of those small form factor cases, I'd probably have trouble fitting it in. Thus, in a burst of futile hope, I was wondering if there are "extension cords" for graphics cards - something that would allow a card to be connected from outside the computer itself {and presumably in a container}. Do such things exist, or am I SOL?
