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!

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).
