Reddit mentions of PCIe x1 to x16 Powered Extender for Litecoin/Bitcoin Mining (Over 1m USB 3.0 Cable) (USB 3.0 A with Molex)

Specifically these things: http://www.amazon.com/Powered-Extender-Litecoin-Bitcoin-Mining/dp/B00HZ0M9F2

Probably. But that also gives more options for motherboard placement.

And there are these as well...https://www.amazon.com/Powered-Extender-Litecoin-Bitcoin-Mining/dp/B00HZ0M9F2/

Uh... yeah.

But how does PCIe... Over USB??

This? https://www.amazon.com/Powered-Extender-Litecoin-Bitcoin-Mining/dp/B00HZ0M9F2

I wonder if that works for my SAS card I need to use...

You shouldn't lose any hash when using risers. I'm using 16x to 16x risers (ones without power source) and 16x to 1x on some R9 270s with no issue, same hash before and after install. But with the 750 TI I believe those are strictly powered from the motherboard and putting multiples on the mobo I hear isn't the best thing. I would look at powered risers to avoid possibly frying your mobo.

I've heard good things about the 1x to 16x USB powered risers and actually have some on order. The USB cord gives quite a bit more flexibility over the other stock risers.

With this Amazon USB riser you've shown.. you would then have to get another adapter for the molex to 6-pin connector, presumably?

A lot of GPUs, like AMD RADEON and nVidia 750 Ti, have 6-pin connectors on them... and so, presumably you'd have to get a 4-pin molex to 6-pin connector.

I wonder if one molex connector is actually enough power.

I noticed that my 750 Ti actually came with a molex to 6-pin adapter cable, but that it has 2 4-pin molexes.... and I just wonder if 1 molex is going to be enough.... Because the Amazon thing you linked only has 1 molex connector.

What do you think?

dude I hate to bear bad news....but those are regular PCI risers. You are looking for PCI-e risers > LIKE THIS ONE

Oooo good idea. I could stand to be a lot less tidy about it too since it's not clear.

I was thinking about hacking up this G4 iMac I have. It can fit a mini-ITX form factor motherboard and someone already figured out the pinout of the LCD to convert it to DVI. I fear I'd have to go auxiliary water cooling and/or even auxiliary video card (using riser cables) if I want any respectable specs though. I mean I could make a pretty decent all-in-one kitchen computer before worrying about specs/cooling but why the hell bother?

The other GPU I have is outside my case at the moment.

Not a full enclosure but there is this.
