External housing for Graphics card

[artistream]

I am making my own computer case. I wanted to go with a modular design and have all the components "compartmentalized" (housed in seperate boxes), but as far as I know there wouldnt be a way to connect the graphics card to the mobo. I've tried looking, but does anyone here know of a PCI extension cable or connector?

Thanks so much! Is there any noticable loss of speed or any other issue with an extension cable?

I have no idea. I just used Google to find it.

Dang. Usually my googling skills suffice to find a solution. I did find a link on a different forum. Custom sized extender cables for PCIx16. He mentions that length can create an opportunity for interference.
