    Thanks! Josh did great work on the front panels, I love it.

    S4M 2070 Brickless - Halp ?

    It depends. I think if you get an ultra low profile GPU connector you might be okay. My Zotac 1660Ti is supposedly 2mm shorter in height than the card you referenced and you can see the tolerance in my build log pictures. I could see with aforementioned cabling gently sliding the brick in while...

    I aligned it up front then used a piece of foam square that came from the Noctua packaging to keep the AC unit pushed tight against it. It pulls from the front slot and that cool air can go through the unit out the back. Double check the pictures, there's no mounting hardware for it just foam...

    Thank you! I use ultra low profile cabling into the GPU and be mindful of the orientation of the brick. Double check my pictures. Also, if you chose the AMP version it's not going to work from my measurements. Very tight tolerances.

    With the HDPLEX 400, I used the included C8 connector. Part of it has a metal circle for grounding I assume. Where did you connect this to with the case? For now, I connected it with the screw I used to fasten the GPU on the outside of the case The ground strap is a bit overkill and I just put...

    Definitely not anything you did wrong but thank you very much all the same. I'd sooner buy a new longer one, to continue supporting the company, than ask for a hand out! ? Your efforts and accomplishments have allowed me to have such an awesome set up and I am very grateful.

    Thank you for the compliment. IIRC only a few 2070 that fit in the wild and not in the US market. EVGA, MSi, Asus etc. really didn't care to market SFF versions that work for our purposes. All things accounted for, should be great and I wish you the best with it. As a note: I took longer...

    The non AMP. If that fit, other cards would. No mod brickless builds like mine have just about 4.5" of usable space. We're talking total GPU height, thus ultra low profile GPU connector. Watch your cards true height when selecting.

    No problem, and should be 2.0 because I got the Hdplex combo as soon as it went live. Due to the way that I routed everything I used it as an extension with the Hdplex 8 pin I believe, so I can't say much to that other than my build is stable/cool and I'm very pleased.

    Thank you and it's the walnut one. The bracket does fit above, I just have not been using it.

    Yeah, and especially after reading threads on the topic of ground and of Josh's discussions like how the HDplex should hopefully be okay, I'm still taking all precautions.

    Yep, with the length provided and it being bundled with the cable it seemed the only place to put it otherwise it would dangle around. If a C14 would fit right there, I'd be using a three prong to the outlet right now. I really didn't want to cut/modify anything like that for this build though.

    Thank you, and yes C8. I took out a chassis screw, bent the strap tie down to fit the curve, and then tightened the screw back down through the ground strap. It took such a minimal amount of pressure to put the side panel back with the strap there I deemed it acceptable. I didn't see a need for...
