Completely agree on this. Sourcing a HDMI or (especially) DP cable with a sufficiently low profile 90° bend in the right direction of the right length for your setup is far from trivial. Most 90° DP cables in particular still stick quite far out from the PCIe bracket. SSUPD tries to solve this (quite poorly IMO) with a bundled angled HDMI cable. Badly due to that cable being 1m long, which would barely be enough to route along my monitor arm down to the desk, and definitely not enough to go below the desk, over to the PC, and up again - it essentially necessitates routing the cable clear across the desk. Also due to the cable being HDMI 2.0 only of course.So with this case being smaller and having less clearance for GPU plugs (from the looks of things, at least), using an extension like what [USER=18145]@REVOCCASES[/USER] linked would be pretty much essential - I'd say one HDMI and one DP for ideal coverage of most use cases, with a pass-through hole for further connections. Of course this would raise the BOM, but hopefully not by more than $10-15 when buying in bulk.Other than that I really like the concept though, it looks impressively dense! 280mm rad support would be a must for me.
