This is the board I have. Now, that picture is accurate. Is it just me or does it actually have 1 xPCI-E x 16 slot and 4 x PCI slots and no PCI-E x1 slots as the specs say?

it has a pcie-x1 slot, just to the left of the pcie-x16 slot in that photo

and there is another one, just to the right of the pcie-x16 slot.

What do they look like? Why can I not see them? Do they not look like normal PCI or PCI-E slots?

You learn something new every day. Why is it so small? What can one put in a PCI-E x 1 slot? Any normal PCI-E card?

anything with a pcie-x1 interface...lan cards, sas controllers, tv tuners...etc.
just taking a while to catch on, but there are loads of things which plug into them
