-> AA> This one gives a lot of technical info and images:

-> Thank you for the attempt to educate but I really do know what
-> a 'riser card' is. IBM used them in the PS2 machines (they
-> called them 'planar panels' and ACER used them to get a smaller
-> desktop footprint for their desktop machines.  My COMPAQ 560
-> uses a riser for it's cards for the same reason I would guess.

-> I don't think there is any way to add a riser to my whitebox
-> tower and if there was a way I wouldn't do it anyhow. 

Do a google on "backplane board".
IRRC it's a low impedence buffered slot extention with multiple
slots.

Checking into them theyn run from moderately priced to 
very expensive but are a way to add cards.
