Hello!
I am trying to convert my gaming rig into a small form factor. I was looking at PCIe express extenders and saw one on Amazon that allows to have two gpu's or 1 gpu and 1 wifi card, for example, from only 1 native expansion slot on the motherboard. There are no reviews of the product and it is not very expensive. I was wondering if that is safe to use since I am wanting to get a mini itx board which does not have space for a wifi card. However I already have a WiFi card so then I could still use it and not worry about selling it or re-homing it and getting a USB Wifi stick. Those are not very good for gaming, etc. What do you folks think about dual PCIe extenders? Do they actually work is the brand trustworthy? I probably WON'T use it and will just use a single PCIe cable riser but I would like to use my WiFi card if possible. Many thanks in advance! Here is the link:

P.S. I did not see the reviews at first but they seem positive, lol. However I am still wary. Any thoughts on the product?
