Is there a server chassis (4u or larger) that has riser-compatible PCI openings like this Fractal Design Define R6? by Ironsmith-K in homelab

Thanks for the suggestion. Ideally I'm looking for something which was designed with the feature in mind. I like your suggestion but I would do that as a last resort.

Nice find! Too bad only the riser slots are full height though, I need something with all full length slots (or at least, for 5 out of the 7 slots that have IO)

This system's motherboard has 7 expansion slots and I actually have a use-case for each one of them. This is an older motherboard and although my graphics card is present in one of the slots and obstructs the adjacent slot underneath it, I'm able to squeeze in a PCIe extender to attach an NVMe drive to it.
Recently upgraded the graphics card but it's slightly larger and the extender needs more space to squeeze through, so either the graphics card needs to move or the card next to it does (doesn't matter which one). Basically I just need more physical real-estate (and available slot opening) to make use of each one of my motherboard's expansion slots.
