Yes, it can be done, but it certainly still isn't ment to be used with a desktop A4000 in it's original case. It gives more meaning to use it in a towerised A4000D.

It cab be done and it works flawlessly. I think it is worth mentioning as it is the ONLY way to have PCI cards without losing the video slot AFAIK.

Yes, it can be done, I agreed with you already. I think the solution is a bit clumsy (extension cables, additional adapters needed, etc). I'd still leave it for a towerised A4000D.

But it's not the only way to have PCI cards without losing the video slot; G-Rex. Admitted, it has higher requirements, but it's still out there.

Hey, I have a soft spot in my heart for the Prometheus :-)

We all know that :-)
