Hey!
I just tried doing a brief search to see if there were any threads about M-STX and discrete GPUs but didn't come up with anything.
As I understand it, MSTX boards don't typically have PCIe slots on them. I've heard of some folks using "MXM" video cards from laptops, which as far as I can tell are tremendously more expensive (and up until recently, a lot worse) than their desktop counterparts...
Is it feasible to use an "internal" PCIe "desktop-style" GPU with a M-STX board? Are there any boards that can do that and still have M.2 storage, Wifi/Bluetooth, and maybe even a SATA port?
If the stars align, I had a few ideas for case designs that I might wrestle trying to learn SketchUp to try to draft. It'd definitely be a useful skill to develop.
