Earn Alto Bucks. What's in the Box? The expansion chassis contains six PCI-X slots which are connected to the host computer through a 8 lane x8 PCI Express host interface card and a high-performance cable.
The host card relays signals from the PCI Express slot inside the computer motherboard to a PCI x backplane inside the expansion chassis. The system is automatically configured by the system BIOS and all six high-performance PCI x slots within the expansion chassis appear transparent to the host computer.

Forgot Your Password? I would like to find a rackmount case that would work, but I can go for a traditional case if I have to. Since I have the magma chassis, I was considering this: Okay, I've changed a few things and now I think I have everything I need to build this thing?
I'll pick up a FW card for my external drives that I have. Any other suggestions or changes, please let me know. Please donate if you get a chance. I did. Drexel, I am am in a similar situation, minus the magma chassis. I have been looking to a compatible motherboard that has 4 PCI slots.
I think the magma chassis are still too expensive? I have actually seen motherboards that have 5 and 6 PCI slots, just dont think anyone has built a hackintosh with one. Brad, I thought about putting the cards in the machine directly, but got the chassis second-hand for a great deal. It's an older model pci-pci, so that's why I only need one pci slot.
Plus, if wanted to go native in the future, I could make it work? I've seen a few guys with 4 pci slots running an hd4 on a hackintosh. If you search you should find the mobo. Okay, so I updated my build and I think I have everything I need to build this thing?
Just need a firewire card and maybe an Ethernet card? Decided to go with a traditional case. Any thoughts or changes, I welcome the input. There's a wealth of info here and it takes all of us to keep it going. Thanks TonyMac!
Drexel said:. Click to expand I know this thread is old but was just wondering if you managed to get your intel PTHD5 system running well with the Magma P7RB 7 slot chassis pci-pci. I have a Magma P7 Chassis. My question , is the old PCI x slot the bottleneck for this system or is it running fast and smooth?
