The 2070 Super won't work the same way. The PCB on the 2070S is just too tall compared to the other cards. Doing it the way Josh did, you're limited to a 2060/2060S/2070-nonS If you want to fit the 2070 Super in brickless, you'll need a custom IO bracket which shifts it down by 12mm or so...

As you mentioned you'll need to cut down or remove the shroud of that inno3d card. It'll fit without issue otherwise. You still might need shorty connectors however.

Much like the Zotac 1080 Ti mini, to go brickless with the 2070 Super Mini, the only choice you have is a custom io bracket. The 2060S, 2070 (non-super) and other of their cards can have the shroud and backplate removed to fit them in without a custom io bracket. The PCB on the 2070S/1080 Ti is...

Graphics, If you're willing to go with an external brick, than a Zotac 1080 Ti mini, or a Zotac 2070 Super mini will fit in fine. Both can fit in brickless with mods however. If you want a brickless build with few mods then a 2070 or 2060 Super is perhaps your best choice. CPU, Look up...

Not something I can comment on sorry.... it's not a card I've built with yet so most of my information is from that youtube video too ?

Still need the fans. Should be able to re-attach the originals, of course noctuas + skybracket is an option like in Josh's video. I say the cooling on the Zotacs will be better mainly because of the heatsink orientation. The horizontal orientation of the fins on the zotac cards would make the...

Sorry for the delayed reply... work trapped me. Yeah, you need a longer 24 pin cable, as the dc-dc unit is now on top of the graphics card instead of the motherboard. Might still need shorty cables depending on which graphics card you go with. Not sure if gigabyte or the Aero have recessed...

The 1660 Ti is quite a bit smaller than the 2060 Super. - The process for the Zotac 2060 Super is the same as the Zotac 2070 Mini, see Josh's video [here] - Note that this won't work for the Zotac 2070 Super mini as the PCB is too large - The Zotac 2060/2070 (non-super) needs shroud removed...

Hey I'll be up for one in the new batch!

The Zotac RTX 2060 Super mini requires a bit more work to fit in the case with the HDPLEX 400w ac-dc unit. You'll need to remove the fan shroud off of the graphics card, as well as remove (or cut down) the backplate as well as bending in some tabs on the card itself. As well as the super shorty...

The gigabyte 1070 fit in fine! You just needed to relocate the dc-dc jack on the hdplex 400w unit... though with the newer hdplex units, this shouldn't be an issue either! And works perfectly on the 330w dell brick!

How many people have had success going brickless with the Aero RTX 2070 in the S4M? What mods are required to get it all fitting nicely?

The Skyreach 4 Mini is looking really quite sleak Josh! Nice work on the design! What's the 2 circular cutouts behind the front bezel for? fans? I suppose 45mm height fans? What kind of drive clearance do we have on the 2.5" mounts? 7mm, 9.5, 15?

It's not so much about it pushing down on the GPU, but for me it's more of an issue of there being no clearance between the drive and the GPU itself. Though temp wise it'd be fine with kapton tape or something, it just still worries me :)

Wish I had a few mm extra above the graphics card for 15mm drives without the need for thermal tape... Imagine this beast with 2 of those 5TB Barracudas. Ultimate PC in a console form factor!
