...that Flexible PCI Riser/Extender, on the other hand, could do the trick!<br>

Hi Geoff,<br>
<br>
Unfortunately, in the case of the C146 that riser card won't work; the
riser card it comes with is actually two board connected by a couple of
ribbon cables. That's probably how they get it to fit in this
particular 1U case; it's not the one in the picture:<br>

Thanks for confirming my suspicions.<br><span class="sg">
