Bearing in mind I have used all the PCIe slots.

Something like this: https://www.amazon.co.uk/StarTech-co.../dp/B000UZL1GC

Hi,


Yeah an expansion chassis is your only route. i don't know about that chassis but i use a Magma 6 slot chassis for PT and have 2 PCIe slots left in the computer (Which i use for UAD cards) all works great.
