So I bought a PNY Verto Nvidia GeForce 8500GT 512MB Video Card a few days ago, and it came today. And I thought my comp had a PCI Express Video card slot. Here's what's weird, it does have it, but there is no "slot" there. It's as if during the manufacturing of my PC, HP forgot to put the slot there? Lol weird huh? The PCI Express' black holes are there, don't you see?, it even says PCIEX16 under those holes, but there is no SLOT so I can't put my new graphics card in. I took a picture to show you guys what I am talking about, if you are confused.

So that is a PCI Express Slot, right? If so is there anywhere I can buy the missing slot so I can put it in there, so then I can put my new graphics card in the slot?

Or am I just completely wrong? Please Help!

buy yourself a new board that actually has the connector there because even if can get the connector for your board you are missing all the components that makes that connector work.
