This is probably a silly question but a friend has a dell inspiron 660s and wanted to upgrade the graphics card to an Nvidia GT630. When the GPU arrived, he couldn't fit it into the case.

Is there a PCI extension cable that can be used somehow? i.e. similar to a USB extender, but with a PCI port instead. This would mean that the card could be kept inside the case anywhere, or left outside the case.

I know this might be silly, but just a thought/ idea.

Thanks.
