Russian software developer Mikhail Svarichevsky needed a a PCI-E x1 video card as all of the other PCI-E slots were occupied on his motherboard. PCI-E x1 video cards are available but can be pricier than PCI-E x16 versions so Mikhail used a rotary tool with a diamond cutting wheel to remove a tab from the circuit board of his x16 card to fit the x1 slot.
At first the operation didn't work as PCI cards indicate their size by shorting specific pins?after researching which pins he needed to short Mikhail made this change and the hacked video card ran smoothly and has continued to run for over a year now with no problems.
This is one of those tricks we don't really recommend trying, especially since the cost of PCI-E x1 video cards have come down in price since Mikhail originally cut his card. But, it's a pretty cool example of what's actually possible, and we suppose it's useful to know just in case you get caught in a horrible bind. See the source link below for more photos and a more detailed walkthrough of the process.
