   I want a pci-e card for additional storage on the PC, but I don't know which ones would fit. also whether there's enough space, since GPU is so big. a swappable one would be extremely cool too, so I could take it when going away for a while.

     @kaia I got an x16 to 4 u.2 adapter. That's really snazzy.

     @kaia with pci-e probably ask jade. i have some issues with a wifi network card which works in one slot but not the other and she said it could be that another device such as the gpu could use up the pci lanes or something so maybe ask her about advice.. (i have no clue about hardware stuff)

     @xian wooow this could store so many tomboys.
     
     I checked out attached icy docks, but turns out I don't have the pcie lanes required.

     @kaia their support before the OS is a mixed bag, so whether you could boot off them isn't an automatic yes. For just storage though, they work alright. I have one in my old macpro- though the pcie slots are gen 2 so it's not running at max throughput.
