I bought a Magma 13 slot expansion chassis off the internet and hot rodded it with a fanless power supply and Noctua fans in the front. Works great. Running this on a Windows 10 system, totally silent (power supply, fanless CPU cooler, SS HD). Totally rocks, crazy fast.

Hey Rich, what model number is your 13 slot Magma?
I'm looking for solutions to have a 3-4 card PARIS system connected to my Win 7 DAW via PCIe.

Here's the Magma info from another thread on this forum:

*****************************************

Here's the Magma info in case you're interested:
You want either the 13 slot P13R or the 7 slot P7R4. With the 13 slot you'll also need a card that goes into the Magma chassis: PCIEIF68. That's the card that the cable attaches to on the Magma end. For the 7 slot Magma the cable connection on the Magma side is part of the chassis.

Other Magma chassis' look similar but might not fit the EDS card. I know for sure that some don't fit. The EDS card uses one of the earlier standards for a PCI card.

The cable you need is either the 1 m long CBL1HF or the 1.5 m long CBL1.5HF.

For the host computer you can get either a PCI or a PCIe card.
- PCI - PCIHIF68 (very similar number to the 13 slot Magma side card)
- PCIe - PEHIFX1

I got both for flexibility.

You can buy new at One Stop Systems for $2500, or go used on ebay for $300-500. I had to buy all the parts separately, and get the cable new.

No drivers were necessary. XP and Windows 10 recognized the hardware.

****************************************

There's a detailed description of the entire system with model numbers, prices, and the things I had to do to get it working. The thread name is: New PARIS System. The thread was started in January of 2020. There are a couple of other threads with some troubleshooting information close to this main thread. Honestly, the whole thing is not that hard to set-up. You will want Mike Audit's drivers.

Good luck. I'll watch more more questions.
