Ever wanted to fit a gfx-card to a pci-e 1x slot, here is how.
For actual usage you should probably use something like this goo.gl/rcKGqG for a 1x to 16x adapter and goo.gl/2iHXY7 for a 4x to 16x adapter, note these links go to Amazon and should you buy trough them, I get a tiny amount of monies.
FAQ: but but... why not use a riser or cut the back of the slot? because this video just demonstrates what you can do, not what you should do. Besides if you just want a picture chances are that the gfx-card is less expensive than the motherboard you would have a chance of ruining, not to mention that even with cutting it might not fit because of component placement.
Also, if you go ahead and do this against your better judgement and common sense, it is entirely on _your own responsibility_.
