"Magma claims there is no latency in the connection since there’s a theoretical maximum throughput of 2000Mbps"

You need to learn the definitions of 'latency' and 'throughput', and their relation to each other. Then you will understand why this statement makes no sense.

This Gizmo is not only for video card usage. You can use and install any type of PciExpress Cards in it, then $729 is not bad at all.
As long as the 3rd Party PCI Express board works using this ExpressBox I will buy it. Otherwise, I don't want to deal with it.

Hopefully they can lower the cost and sell more.
Let's wait and see!!!

Well, yea, if it was like $30 but at $729 with out the video card you might as well buy a new computer.

Is this really necessary? Seems to me you'd need an external monitor to use it. Why would you want to carry around all 3 things? For LAN parties? Might as well just make a light desktop system at that point.
