It says it's for testing not for gaming.
Ok.... if you're trying to use this as a gaming solution then I wouldn't waste the money.

This thing was essentially designed for people that need to test PCI-E cards using a portable notebook.

If you try to game with this you will more than likely accomplish nothing more than building up a less than healthy amount of self hatred.

Would the drivers even work with this? I know the thunderbolt enclosure (the name slips me) have not driver support from any party, I would have the same thought for this.

PC: EVGA GTX680, i5 2500K, 8GB Kingston HyperX, Gigabyte Z68-GA-UD3P, 120GB OCZ SSD, 2x1TB WD Greens, Corsair 600t, Corsair AX750, Corsair H100i, ASUS MX239H, Corsair K60 + M60.

My guess is that it will work, but it won't be a good gaming solution, it only provides x1 speed, that's to slow for gaming.

u going to need a extra powersupply to power the card

this aint going to work that easy

cause that netbook probably has a Atom or celeron cpu and wouldent be fast enough to play games any way

and there is a high chance that you can get driver issues

netbooks arent made for gaming at all

i suggest u not waste your money on this its a bad investment

your just better of buying a gaming laptop or desktop

you could get a decent gaming desktop for around 600USD

Well I think it says under the "notice" part that it only supports 1x speeds which I don't even think the card will boot on.

It'll definitely boot on. You can even mine Bitcoins at full speed with that, although the GPU he linked above would be terrible. Don't even consider gaming.
