Yeah, I'd rather put that money towards a new/better motherboard. Seems like a waste to me.
They can be had for $25. They are useful for adding an extra slot or two to an already existing rig/computer. If you build a rig from scratch, just buy a motherboard with as many slots as you need, that is cheaper.
these things cost 30~40 dollars per slot
a normal pcie slot costs 25 dollars
board 60 (4 slots)
cpu 30
ram 10

anyone actually tried PCI to PCI-e converter and works?
because don't seem to see much people using it
is it because cost is too high?
