[SOLVED] USB controller expansion for Alienware X51 R2

[jasonale]

Sorry if this is the wrong forum for this post, but I am trying to increase the number of USB controllers for my PC. I get stuttering on my Oculus Rift when I add the third sensor and this is mostly fixed when I remove all USB devices including keyboard/mouse when playing with three sensors. I'm a giant nooblet, so I don't think I see anywhere for an extra PCIe and power connection slot. I mean, there's definitely no spot on the case either. So what can I do? If there's nothing, I'll just wait until I can build a new rig.

Thanks!

Jason

they have more,like with two or even 5 ports.
Asus has these too,

See if you can get these via Amazon or Newegg,need to google that on your own. Link these since most motherboards have a spare pcie x1 slot,unless you use m-itx.
