Hi everyone.

 

I'm finalizing a build and have one regret. I made my case such that I couldn't see that beautiful front LED lighting on the new EVGA 1080. So I am considering re-making a portion of the back panel so I can mount the graphics card facing outward. Are there any suggestions for brand/type of extension/riser that I can use. Other forums and topics barely touch on this subject or have mixed results. I have seen some product reviews and they aren't so good. Some talk about interference, performance loss, or don't even work at all with the 1080.

 

Basically what i'm asking for is a PCI-E 3.0 riser/extension that has no negative affects on anything. I don't mind cost if it's good quality.

This is probably the nicest looking one and probably the nicest one too.
