Thanks! I checked a few things and that definitely opens the possibility of fitting two expansion cards in a NSC-800! It's just aggravating that it seems most mini-ITX motherboards orient the m.2 connector the other way around (m.2 card going towards the rear of the motherboard). I'll post...

AFAIK and according to this thread, the AM4 mini-itx boards, when matched with a Raven Ridge APU (2200G, 2400G) are HDMI 2.0 and HDCP 2.2 compatible, so they should handle UHD content just fine.

AFAIK, PicoPSUs are basically 'feed-through' on the 12V line. Goes straight from the power supply to the output, without conversion and maybe with a bit of regulation. They would depend on the 12V (and 12V only) input being very stable. If the no-name ac-adapter is insufficiently stable or gives...

Depending on how much room you have, an easy way out might be to get a m.2 to pcie x4 cable (something like a bplus r42s*) and use a pcie usb 3.1 gen2 card.

I'm looking into using that motherboard in a NAS box (NSC-800, currently running a C2550D4I), with a few oddities to use a 2nd expansion card off the m.2 connector (8 or 16-port SAS card off the pcie x16, 10Gbe card off the m.2 through an extender). It looks like the Gigabyte mITX is the only...
