I just need a simple PCI extension card like this one

Unfortunately, it will cost me $30 extra to ship the $10 part. I found 1 store in Vancouver that sells it but they want $45 for it. Any other suggestions where I can get this $10 part at a reasonable price in Vancouver? Any suggestions for a local computer message forum that I can post to?

Jeez I could give you a dozen risers but they are built for servers - they extend the card to parallel with the mobo.

I've never seen this riser before.

Lostmind, actually, I need both the normal PCI riser and the PCI extender. My Silverstone case comes already with the PCI riser that you are referring to. But since I am using a smaller mini-itx board, the PCI slot ends up being lower than if I installed an ATX board and so I need to extend the PCI slot up with the PCI extender.

PCI extenders are not very common right now which is why I'm having a heck of a time finding them locally for under $45 which is what NewType in Yaletown wants for them. Mailordering it from Caseoutlet would be $5US plus shipping.
