Need to upgrade your server or desktop computer? Don’t want to lose your investment in pricey PCI cards that don’t fit the new computer? You can install practically any PCI card into the Magma PCI Expansion System and connect it to your new or old computer. It is small enough to fit on your desktop and only takes up two spaces when rack-mounted. In addition, Silencer® cooling fans keep cards cool without sounding like a turbo engine.
The Magma 4 Slot PCI Expansion System allows you to plug-in up to four (4) full-sized power-demanding PCI cards and up to four (4) hard drives in the chassis. How else can you add so much power to a 1U server, a small form-factor desktop, or your brand-new laptop?
Save Time, Money and Trouble Use your high-end PCI cards and vital data wherever you are – without the expense of “buying duplicate cards” or “packing them along in your briefcase” to install in another computer upon arrive. Simply add your PCI cards, and possibly a hard drive or two, to the Magma expansion chassis and then connect the chassis to any host computer (laptop or desktop) using one of a variety of Magma host cards. Yes, even your laptop!
The use of computer specific host cards makes using your unique PCI cards and vital data as simple as “Plug & Play” because all you need to do is to connect the MAGMA PCI Expansion System to the host card for your computer and turn it on. Use the same PCI cards on your laptop as you do on your desktop or server – just add a Magma host card and connect the cable. The auto-switching power supply even allows you to work internationally by simply adding a power cord plug adapter.
Configuration Control Setting up your PCI cards and data in one chassis provides you an opportunity to use a consistent hardware configuration – regardless of what type of computer is available. The MAGMA 4 Slot PCI Expansion System can also be added to your portable ATA road case. Being able to “hit the ground running” is vital to every successful venture. Being able to use “the same PCI cards,” regardless of location also reduces project risks.
Host cards are available for the following systems: (1) Laptop: CardBus or ExpressCard and (2) Desktop/Server: 32 or 64-Bit PCI, or x1 PCI Express.

This was my first experience buying something from Vintage King (although I surf the "used" categories on the website frequently!), and, despite being on the other side of the world, I had absolutely no trouble and everything went very smoothly.

My experience with Vintage King was excellent. The order was here fast considering it was out of stock. The sales person had SKB send it to me directly and I couldn't have been more pleased.

From the minute I placed my order I was kept well-informed through each step in your process. Even though I was buying a comparatively modest piece of gear, your attention to detail made me feel like I was purchasing a six-figure mixing desk.
