Riser card

[Benedoge]

Hi There, 

I recently got an old Intel palr s5000 motherboard. 

My plan was to use it as the platform for my next gaming PC. ( I know servers are loud and so on.  And there are no affordable e atx cases , so I build one by myself. ) 

 

My problem though is , that the board doesn't have a pcie X16 slot, but a full height riser slot. 

Is there any way to " change"  the slot , so that I can put a graphics card into it ?

A picture would help your description a lot.

Ignore the full lenght slot, its a combo for PCI-E and PCI/X, with the PCI-E being 8x

The other slot is just a normal PCI-E 8x which you can attach any 8x to 16x riser card. Like this:

But what did YUO type in to find a offer for a riser ? 

I can't find what I am looking for.
