This one has stumped me because it seems that there's no easy way to do this:
I've got an MSI WS65 8SK-469AU laptop, which I will be using (as my only option) to run a VR setup.
Problem is, I need to somehow hook up an external PCI-E x1 expansion card so that my HTC Vive can be used wirelessly.
I'm wondering if there is ANY way to use Thunderbolt, HDMI, USB-C etc etc. to run this PCI-E x1 expansion card??
It also doesn't help that I can't break open the laptop and hook things up internally, because it's an expensive laptop, so to hell with that idea.
So far I've considered the Razer Core for AU$450, but that's pretty expensive. I also found something called the RocketStor 6361A PCI expansion chassis, but I don't need a whole elaborate chassis setup just for hooking up a puny little expansion card, so again that just seems like a waste.
Any better ideas?
