What I appreciate about the minisforum Uranus B550 Pro is that it is capable of performing common duties with- and without a GPU through relying on AM4-desktop CPUs whilst remaining portable and upgradeable.

Are there alternatives to the b550 pro that can be used similarly? Would building a system such as the above on yourself prove too challenging for a newbie? To protect the circuitry while using a 12V external power supply, making PCIe x16 accessible from outside the enclosure, and guaranteeing an effortless switch to a connected GPU + its power supply are among the concerns. Is a motherboard like the Uranus B550 Pro's perhaps even readily available somewhere I didn't look?
