can I plug my pci-e gfx card into either of the pci-e slots ?
normally Id just plug it into the top one.... but the watercooling pipe runs will be easier if I use the bottom slot...
and I dont want to have to move it after Ive piped it in and filled it with water !
(googled it but cant find anything, and this pos Im using right now is driving me crazy!)

If it isnt mentioned in the manual then its almost certainly OK. Best idea is to try it and see, if it isnt going to work then there isnt going to be any damage anyway.
Note that some cards have differing numbers of lines to each PCI-E slot, in which case it might run slower.
