It's the only 64bit PCI-X adapter i found, if it works could be a good alternative to the expensive Magma expansion chassis.

No, but keep in mind that it'll only work with half height cards, so if you're using full-height cards, the won't fit.

If i have room in my case maybe i can assemble something with this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Plastic-M...nectors_RL&hash=item3376ca4f60#ht_1954wt_1153 and http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tyan-M203...erfaceCards&hash=item3cb5b01c6c#ht_2898wt_919

I don't know even if it works it's worth for the time and money spent, i'm thinking of saving a Aja Kona Lh card that i have in a G5.
But maybe it's better to save for a PCIe Decklink Studio http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/decklink or a Thunderbolt Ultrastudio http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/products/ultrastudio.Do you think Thunderbolt is reliable enough in a Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UP5 TH to use such equipment?
