You could get a motherboard with 2 M.2 slots and use an pciex4 adapter and riser cable or a suitable combination thereof. I don't know about the specific logistics of M1, but ADT has a wealth of riser cables that should enable you to mount the card almost anywhere. I only have experience with...

This is what the Strix X470i heatsink and led board looks like under the sticker and I'm guessing the Z490 would be pretty similar. From what I remember from taking it apart it that the sticker is just a layered piece of smth like acrylic and aluminium and comes of pretty easily with a spudger...

Was your adapter externally powered, I think the nvme slot is a bit more limited in power delivery vs. a full fat pcie x4 slot. I used an adapter with a floppy power connector with my Asus XG-C100C with no problems.

I've used a similar setup on my X470i Strix it works exactly as you prescribe and it's just plug and play. Maybe someone who has experience on newer Intel boards can chime in if there are some complications there, but as long as your M.2 slot is pcie-capable I don't think there should be any...

Ooh, nice to finally see an itx(ish)-sized 2070S. I've been thinking of replacing my Zotac 1080 Mini, but I think I've convinced myself to wait for the next round of cards from AMD/Nvidia. Still, should be a nice card and I'm glad they've finally gotten rid of the DVI-connector to allow for...

Yeah, I've got to do something about that shroud too. At the moment it's hidden behind the GPU put once I put it in a case I would be prominently displayed. @Abbie Doobie I used the Aquacomputer kryoM.2 in my previous build, its very low profile and it did help with the temps of an A-Data...

In case someone from Scandinavia or Finland wants the board, Komplett has them in stock. Got mine built up with my "old" 1600x, everything went together quite painlessly and apart from the groan-inducing text on the ssd shield, it's quite a nice board. Now if only my M.2 adapter card came so I...

I think anodized and alumin(i)un or alloy are the keywords for colored bolts and washers. More specifically you can search for fender washers or bottle cage bolts for M5. I'd be a bit wary of M4 and smaller bolts, since they are alumininum it's very easy to strip the threads, especially when...

You can find and order all the separate pieces by searching them, at least it worked for my order.

I live in Finland so I'd be interested in the european options. I'm thinking the color combination would be orange corners, matte white top, rear i/o and bottom and grey tint for the rest, maybe even the frosted orange for the front and gpu panels. Going fully transparent would be pretty tough...

Yeah, I meant there being an option for side panel to be the same translucent or transparent material as the front and gpu panels. I'm thinking there's a way to do a really clean build by making custom length wires for the psu and it'd be nice to show it off. Obviously it further complicates the...

I've gone through the whole thread over the last week and first of all I'd like to congratulate you on doing a great job designing and producing such a wonderful case and also keeping the thread up to date on all the testing and new developments. This thread was a great influencer on me really...
