pci-e expansion cases ?

[joes_2002]

I was wondering about adding a pci e card specifically matrix audio element h usb interface.
But haven’t any more space or sockets available on my motherboard. soundcard, videocard.
I looked into the prices of pci expansion cases but the prices are much too expensive. any other suggestions?

Please give us your system specs, particularly the motherboard.

other option is to get a bigger mobo with more slots.
what size mobo do you have now; ATX, micro ATX or mini ATX?
and of course, increasing the mobo size may also force a new case.

Motherboard; ASUS prime H310-plus I’ve included a schematic .I’m concerned about the space.

You could look into a PCI (or PCIe) riser card.

This would allow you to relocate the audio interface to a lower slot on your case if possible, I’m not sure your model.
