Is there any way of using the PCI slots covered by my Graphics Card?
I have a pretty high end system running on a Micro ATX mobo- a mistake. Anyway, I have a 9800GTX graphics card that covers all the other PCI (not PCI-e) slots exept for the PCIx1 slot which isn't any good to me. I am looking at getting a Razer Barracuda sound card which needs a PCI slot. Basically, is there any way round this. If it's important, the bottom PCI slot has all the pins available, but not enough room to put a component in.
Thanks,
Jake
My graphics card uses PCI-e. My case is a mid-tower case with 7 expansion slots.
Just to clarify the graphics card in the PCI-e socket is covering the other PCI sockets.
I have heard about PCI risers, but they are at right angles so wouldn't fit the card.
another way is to buy an after market cooler from thermalright like HR-03 GT. then do a reverse cooling installation so that the heatsink of the cooler is at the back of the graphics card. it will be cooled better and at the same time frees pci slots.
look at the top card:

or this one, i think its named Thermalright T-Rad2 GPU Cooler:

or use the ones above me suggested, the flexible pci riser or get a sound card that supports pci-e x1like from creative
