Concept Little ideas of greatness

[Jello]

I just meant that if you can find the solution that you consider perfect, this is one that could still be used...

Spoiler: It looks possible

Well, i guess it's time to pull some triggers... thanks a lot, @Vlad502!

I have both a thin min-ITX and a Zotac GT1030. I'll check that IRL tonight if you want. My heatsink is a Tt Engine27.

I'd be thankful af. There's not worse feelings than buying a couple hardware parts and seeing it not fit well together.

For anyone who's watching this project, I (guess I've) found the best riser for this project:

https://pt.aliexpress.com/item/BTM-...Extens-o-PCIe-3-0x16-para-x4/32881860131.html

Looks like it hit all the marks...

( ✔ ) PCIe 3.0 compliant
( ✔ ) x4
( ✔ ) Right angle
( ✔ ) "powerable"
( ✔ ) Up to 60cm

except for one:

( ✘ ) US$37~US$60

Let's see how it goes with the rest!

As promised, but a little late, here are the side by side thin mini-ITX (Q87T) and Zotac GT1030 (GDDR5) PCBs:

Niiiiiiiiice!!!

Thanks A LOT, @GuilleAcoustic! I did check the specs and indeed the ZOTAC 1030 is a bit bigger than ITX standards. My best bet is Gigabyte's one (149.9 mm lenght). Pulling the trigger right now and hoping for the best!

Right choice with Gigabyte card: https://www.cartft.com/catalog/il/1509?ci=6

PCIe card (max. 16.5cm) in the M350 enclosure

About riser cable (10cm), i think somethink like this:

Someone on this forum made a powered riser, can't remember the name but I'm sure you can find it. Is it too short for you?

You must be talking about @aquelito

Yeah, his riser can be bought here, and you can find a 3D model of it in resources. (skp only, if you need a stp dm me, I converted it.)

About riser cable (10cm)

I intend to route the riser underneath the mobo, for the sake of accessibility to SSD and wifi modules.

My best bet is 350mm (170mm from mobo lenght + 111.15mm from GPU lenght + 68,85mm from bending and connectors).

Hope it looks as much as a work or art as possible.

I found interesting PIO board based on H110: ZA-KB1CC1 ($77 - 1688.com)

Taobao links:
KB1CC1/DX-H110
AIO-H110

PIO boards don't fit inside M350. The advetised "170mm x 170mm" dont take into account the right angled PCIe added lenght.

Also, that's an interesting find, for sure.

One-by-one, all the pieces are hitting on my mailbox...

And i have to say: the cooler is pretty awesome.

ASL 1050ti?

ASL 1050ti?

I'd love it to be one of those, but it's just a GT 1030.

I really don't know if there's anyone following this idea, but I'm really down for it right now. The carbon fiber stand is on its way and i'll probly have it done by the weekend.
