[QUOTE="rsaeon, post: 2385651, member: 76792"] Yes, they are available — I got mine during the Prime Day sale last weekend. It's only the x1 extension cables that I had from before. That Waveshare expansion board was the first one I considered because of price but the documentation is unclear. Apparently the 5v line backflows back into the 12v line so if you're going to power it through the floppy molex connector, it should be 12v only and not both 5v and 12v. The cryptic warning about not plugging it in directly into a regular motherboard probably has to do with the orientation of the slots, you wouldn't be able to use them with the pci slots of your cabinet. I had seen these extender cards/boards months ago, but I wrote them off as questionable chinese electronics and they are to some extent. But after I found that the same chip, ASMedia 1184e, was used by Asus in a few of their motherboards (including one that I own and use everyday) I understood it had to be a refined/stable solution for adding more low bandwith PCIe devices.
