In this thread and this thread we've collectively been lamenting how stupidly big all the eGPU docks are that have been announced so far.
I've gotten fed up with it and have offered to do the CAD work for free to design a eGPU dock that's actually sized appropriately for housing just a video card, TB3 adapter board, and power supply. @Runamok81 has graciously offered to purchase a AKiTiO Node for me to measure and get this project started.
I have absolutely no use for one of these eGPU docks myself so please leave any and all feedback in this thread for what you want to see in such a design!
But just don't expect me to implement everything suggested, design by committee is the death of great ideas and a good designer has to know when to say "no"
