Here's that pinout guide. 3.3v via a thick wire to a good 3.3v source worth a few amps. Tie the 1.8V Enable line to it.

@Damascus - Mostly it's adding a high-power 3.3v line and a 1.8v_enable line to the MXM interface. I can't find any of it online, but I have a hard copy around here someplace.

Wanted to share this - Spotted it "offbrand" before finding the UpgradeYourLaptop version, but they look almost identical. Anyone tried one yet? I have a 2080S waiting for a home...

Audio can also be extracted from the HDMI with ease. That board looks like it could be an absolutely beast of a mini-server.

The way of the fist is kung fu for fighting. The Way of the Shrink is the kung fu of the cables and components in the tiny case.

It's extremely likely your USB-C devices are just USB 3.0, and should be able to be adapted to standard USB-A. But yes, for any USB, you need a hub, and I don't think there are any yet for Type-C, for the lack of devices which need them *and* run USB, not any alt-modes.

That shouldn't be too hard to fix at all - Use a hot air station to remove the white connector, and solder the standard front panel connector's wires directly into place. It's all passive, and you can test it on a standard desktop motherboard. If you wanted to get fancy and do a bit less...

PM sent!

Is that $50 shipped to Boston? If so, I'll take it.

It's worse, they use a proprietary motherboard and proprietary modular video card! At these retail sales numbers, replacement parts are nearly impossible to find.

That's a thing of beauty!!

Your video is dead - Change the Youtube sharing permission to "unlisted", instead of private.

Looks spiffy, but I'd love to see reports on the i7 version, and what can be done with it. SFF servers are fun, but a low-power quiet one WITH performance sounds nice.

Wow, 4 DIMMs slots, not soDIMM or just a pair!! I think I'm in love!

It looks like you are managing heat well, but the hot end of that heat pipe in contact with the LCD will eventually result in a discolored LCD. My recommendation would be have a second fan blowing air (or sucking air) between and across the processor side of the motherboard, while the main...
