Angled PCI-E Bidge?

I am thinking about building a DIY pseudo-SFF system. It would be wide and deep, but flat (think sony PS2 shape) and use a standard atx motherboard. I definately need a graphics card but they obviously stick out, which would make my system not-so-flat. It would be great if somebody manufactures an angled bridge that would plug into a pci-e 16x slot and allow me to have a pci-e graphics card positioned parallel to the mobo. I hope i have explained this ok. I looked everywhere i could think of on the internet (google, digikey, forums...), and have not found anything. Does this exist?

Thanks in advanced for you help!
 
they do exist, but only for agp, silverstone bundles them with some of their HTPC cases, thats about all I know about them
 
Thanx sheik, that helped very much. Once I was able to figure out what these things are called (riser cards), it was very easy track down. Apparantly they are used for xU rackmount systems? I thought that was a server/renderfarm form factor! They come in a variety of types... apg, pci, pci-e, pci-x. They seem a little pricy though (I will check out industrial electronic distributers and eBay to see if I can get one for a few bucks).
