Maybe a controversial take, but I absolutely LOVE the design of the Mac Pro 6,1 (Trash Can), and I have wanted to build a computer in one for the longest time. And, I have finally created some mock ups of what that would require. Here are a couple of notes that go with the images:
The motherboard is an AsRock x600, as a standard itx board will not fit, and the x600 allows me to still use some pretty powerful CPUs like the 7600x3d.
The Max gpu length appears to be about 180mm, which allows for a 4060ti at best, which is fine. I play at 1440p 90 hz, mostly esports titles and some AAA games that I dont mind turning down the graphics for.
And a 140mm fan does fit up top (ignore the fan direction in the cad models, it would be blowing up in the final installation) with a little chopping up.
The final issue is that I would use an m.2 to pcie adapter for the GPU, which is fine. But powering the GPU is a little beyond me right now. The motherboard for the x600 has its own input from a barrel plug, meaning there is no ATX standard to plug the GPU into. After some digging, I can use an HDplex 200w DC-ATX power supply, and there are 24 pin jumper pins with on off switches to control when the gpu is on and off like this: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09XTYKHV5?smid=A2D341MUOIEROL&psc=1
But HDplex doesnt have any, and other options dont seem to have any pcie output cables.
The final piece of the puzzle is that this GPU power supply needs to fit at the bottom of the case, which has a radius of 110mm, so the longer versions of the HDplex options are not viable.
Im looking for support on this one, anything is helpful!
