Nice the more of such items the better 
just I would really love to get a mini ITX case, preferably in the footprint of my NUC, as well I they could use the small pcb power supplies (something like thishttps://www.aliexpress.com/item/Mini-Box-pico-PSU-12V-150W-24-Pin-Mini-ITX-Power-Supply/32629797512.html?spm=2114.40010308.4.9.zrdHyl - they make it as well in 250W) that would manage a gtx 1070 and that is the best mini itx so far. but still the more options will be the better the price and driver support

The gtx 1050 is rated at 75W, this looks interesting since it would make our life easier on the power supply part.
The http://www.inxtron.com/products/thunderbolt3-hdk can provide 75W power in the slot with the right power supply.
So what do you think?
Sure the 1050 is not a high end card, but still looks quite decent, I have a 2560x1080 screen so I dont need a top of the line GPU, my competitive gaming days are any way gone, so for me this looks interesting, because of the ease to power it.

Update from benjaminlsr. Looks like he's wired two Noctua 60mm fans into his Thunder3 and GTX 1060 box.
I believe he's tied them to the PWM signal on the GPU fan, so all three spin up and down in tandem.

Why not an NH-L9a with custom mounting brackets?

Is the thunder3 working for him, asking because a guy on YouTube said on kernel level thunder3 is not supporting Egpu.
Looks like Asus is also throwing their hat into the ring with the adeptly named ASUS ROG XG Station 2
AnandTech has a good comparison of all of the eGPU options now available.
Unfortunately, all of these are still too large for my tastes. I should probably stop holding my breath for the Mini eGPU, eh?

That's a very good table by anandtech, apart from the fact that all those "proprietary" internal PSUs are 1U or Flex.

Looks to be about the size of the Razer Core. I'm beginning to wonder if all these docks come out of the same factory and the design engineer secretly hates SFF.

Well, I suppose I can forgive them because they also announced the Mini GTX 1080 today and well... that's just a Godsend of a card right there. Nice work boys.

At least this one doesn't look like the fever-dream of a 12-year old gamer.
I guess I'll repeat my offer in the space inefficiency thread here: If anyone is willing to pay for the TB3 to PCIe adapter and the sheet metal work, I'll do the CAD for free just to prove the point that a GPU dock that's actually smaller than a full SFF computer is indeed possible.
I see. Just in case anyone is interested in that, you can also get the internals of the Akito Node (and Thunderbox3) here for 280$.
Aibo, If you're still interested, I'll take you up on the offer to work on a Mini eGPU chassis. We all know you do exceptional work. I'm in no rush, but I do want to see the Mini eGPU AiboBox become a thing.
On hand, I still have the Gigabyte GTX 1070 Mini and HPLEX 160W AC-DC. I could order an AkiTio Node from here and then ship all the parts to you? Were you thinking internal PSU or external power brick?
