such a thing as a Cable/extension for PCI slot
I installed a new Graphics card in my system BUT to my dismay it completely covers the PCIe slot next to it. My motherboard (ECS: A960M-MV) only has two PCI slots, a PCIx16 and a PCIx1.

So I had to run out and buy a cheap USB internet adapter to connect to the web. Is there like a cable or an extension or something that will allow me to connect the pre-existing PCI internet card??? I'm thinking something like a ribbon cable but for PCI slot to connect to the card blade. I use all 6 USB outlets already, I had to pull one device out to plug in the internet adapter device.

HELP!
