Got my card a few days ago. I plugged the SATA extender into my PCI-E 16x extender, which was plugged into a PCI-E 1x-to-16x extender. I haven't got time to fill all 7 slots with video cards, only 2 slots on the extension card are currently occupied, with one more on the mainboard's PCI-E 16x slot. All three cards work great.

Sorry for the poor pic quality:

Got a link to that other board with the 7 ports?

That Taobao site is a pain to navigate! I live in australia so shipping is usually easy from china, i'm definitely going to order a couple of these and the sata extenders when I can figure out how to get them to send me the verification code properly!

WOW. Those products are EPIC.

Somebody really needs to let us buy these puppies up !

Sata cables is also very nice idea and this time there is no need to have a different CPU cooler.

Any news from Bigpiggy01 ?

This is their new product, PCI-E 1x extender with external power supply, using standard SATA cable, so the length is customizable, only $15:

UPDATE:

The taobao.com vendor (link in the op) now has a notice on their site saying shipments are delayed until mid March  Cry

Subscribing as this looks like a perfect fit for my oil cooled rig.

one small comment; rather than removing the cpu heatsink, I assume you could use a PCIe16x cable with their male/male adapter and put the entire board a bit higher. At least Id give it a shot.

I don't read/speak Chinese, but if someone can order/sell me one, I will take a chance and report back as I need something like this.
Shows up fine in my browser - hit the auto-translate button (chrome).  1399 yuan isn't too much.
