I have seem to have run out of room in my case. I wanted to add a dedicated physx card to my system and have the slot, but not the space. Stupid dual slot cards!! Anyway I have seen some of the pci express x16 extender cables and was wondering if there are any really long ones out there. I have space in the drive bay area where I want to make a bracket which could hold it securely.

So is there any longer versions of this, I cant find larger than 11cm?

And do these case any "lag" ?

thanks so much

You might be better of with SLI or crossfire and use part of the second cards processing power to run Physx as it doesnt add a lot to the overhead of modern GPU's

what's your main card?

if it's ATi, don't bother, they've disabled PhysX when a non-nvidia GPU is in the system.

if it's nvidia, then PhysX is already being done on your GPU.
