You cannot install ten (10) PCI cards if you only have three (3) available
PCI slots. Does that make any sense to you?

Haven't seen a commercial builder catalog in some time but
there are companies that make expansion chassis that connects
to the PCI bus. Do a Google search and see what turns up.
 
Put them very very very close together.
Beat them in there with a very very very large ball pean hammer.
 
If you have 10 PCI cards why did you buy a system that only has 3
slots????????????????/

They make expansions for PCI slots, 10 cards won't physically fit in the PC
case, and the bios and windows irq assignments would be hosed. Must be a
troll post.

Little you know about custom-built systems. There are things
known as expansion chassis, boxes, etc. Check out the site
provided by Mistoffolees. Something more specific ---

Hardly mainstream stuff though, eh.. in all probability, the guy wants to
create a 10 port network, in which case, he should be looking at network
hubs, not rack mount expansion boxes..
 
i had the same issue when i was working in my former company. i had more
than 5 PCI card to plug into a desktop with only 3 PCI slots.

those are CCTV camera cards, of course.

i purchased a PCI expansion box, and it did the trick. i recalled i bought
it from IBM. can't recall much, though.
