I think you can easily find an pci x1 to x16 expansion risers. Those were quite popular during mining days.

All I have a gaming graphics cards. So still would need a graphics card to install.

There’s this

and PrimeABGB has a GT710 version

Or do what I did (skip to the photos):

That price on Amazon is a joke!!!

That’s the regular price. You’re paying for the 4x HDMI ports, not the GPU or x1 slot. That card used to be around 7k a few years ago.

An alternative would be a low profile x1 to x16 riser, it lets you slot in a low profile card while adding just enough height to have it sit in a full sized slot, something like this:

but a x1 version, maybe sourced from ebay?

Another alterative is a PCI to PCIe riser, with a cheap low profile PCI VGA card:

Either way, this is a niche use case and in computing, niche = expensive.

Everything would be solved by having open ended slots.

A tiny file and a little patience, maybe even a podcast while you work.

I tried filing away & messed up the pcie socket. So again any PCIe x1 graphics card?
