L shaped risers?

You mean a PCIe riser? Unless the case comes with one, it's probably best to go with a flexible riser, hard risers need to be pretty precise.

Whenever I try to edit I get an error about spam.
Can I fold a flexible pcie riser without problems? Or are there other options to make sure the thing gets enough airflow? I'm planning on using a fanless c7 for clearance reasons.
Looking at your profile, I see that you joined today - perhaps this is to prevent bot spam.
I wouldn't fold the riser, but it can bend. Don't do hard angles, curve it.
I would remove those ginormous fans and mount the GPU where it should go, then put some slim fans on the side if there's room. Then you could put a regular heatsink/fan combo for your cpu.
I'm putting a full height gpu in this thing, not a half height card.
The case is great for a low profile card and stock cooler, sadly that just isn't what I'm trying to do with this build.

I don't think a flex riser would work. Do you know of anything that's more of an L shape?
I'm afraid that's not what I'm looking for either, but closer! Thanks again for the help so far yall!

Your best (only) option will likely be to do it w/ a flexi riser. There are some that are quite short and options such as the HDPlex riser might be serviceable. Im almost certain what your looking for hasnt been made, or at least hasnt been made in enough quantity to have made it into the open market.
Yep, if you want a riser like that, but rigid instead of flexible, you'd have to design it and have it made by special order with a manufacturer of circuit boards. And there have been a few projects on this forum that have made their own custom boards too!
That's really cool to know. You wouldn't happen to know of any resources to help me make this a reality would you? Cost is definitely not an issue.
On a side note, do you know of any resources for fabbing a cpu cooler to boot?
i don't think there'd be anyone highly knowledgable here who'd recommend sinking time and money into heatsinks from scratch on a hobbyist level ._.
Even if that's the case, if you guys know of any other forums with more of an enthusiast vibe that would be a huge help,
the end goal is to just have an easy way to mod the ml06e for heavier use, mailing and travel.
Communities like this have lead me to great companies like sunpower, and alexandra lighting systems; it never hurts to ask.
mmm... this isn't an invation, but you could try asking kmpkt and dondan here regarding economics and a bit of basic heat dynamics. they're in the middle of development, so they probably can't talk cooling strategies with you (e.g. design)
