There are PCI/PCI-X to PCI-e bridge chips available (as well as PCI-e
to AGP) and they're part of the spec. As to how well they actually
work on a separate riser card, I'm not sure. I like the idea though.

This board looks decent if you need a ton of drives. The second x16
slot is actually a x4 electrical, but that not too shabby for a $100
mobo.
