Yeah the 1060 is 105mm while the 1070 is 113mm. As such it contacts the rear portion of both the Audio_1 and USB ports. Removing both of these would allow for a perfect fit of the higher end cards and remove the need for the 2.6mm spacer kit shipped with the 1070 and 1080 models of the unit.
I'm not sure I entirely understand your question. Can you please clarify?
Okay. So the deskmini has two plugs in front of the GPU for USB ports. Using these shouldn't impede a flat fit of the GTX 1070/1080. One ships with the case and you can buy a second here:

My idea would be to have two of these to handle front panel USB and provide a convenient replacement for the audio jack I'd be pulling off the motherboard to allow for a flat fit of the GPU. The way I see it, you'd be losing an audio jack and a USB port, but gaining two USB ports. Also worth mentioning is that the board is specced for one mic jack and one headphone+mic jack. I'm not sure which the lower one is at this point, but to be honest it might not even be worth worrying about if it is the mic only jack.

100 bucks off the 1060 and 1080 models on Newegg right now.

Hmmm I was hoping they would release a 1070 version soon I feel that would be the best balance of performance and price.
The mxm geforce cards are generally not very good value. There are many quadro mxm cards out there selling at the same price or lower than full size pcie cards. If your need quadro cards for functions such as 10 bit colors etc. This thing would be super cool.
Yes, but no 1060 at all. I recall when it was out of stock the product page was still up, but it's been taken completely off their website at least from my end.

It just out of stock. don't worry about it.
When will the 1070 deskmini will be released?https://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856158059

I am curious if Intel Xeon processors will be supported in this little beast, can someone confirm? As per some info from this thread it is stated that such chipset cannot work with Xeon in general, so question is: would it be enough to create customized BIOS?

Deskmini 1050 likely won't be a thing, especially with new APUs on the horizon that will provide adequate enough performance to compete with such a variant of the Deskmini. You can buy an aftermarket 1050 MXM board from Aetina if there is a specific reason the 1060 doesn't suit you (power draw?).

As far as the Z270 variant of the board, I wouldn't count on it being released to the public in the foreseeable future as the B250 chipset is more than adequate for the hardware on this platform at this time.
