If we were using standard mini fit junior, it would be even less of an issue since we can order a board mount female PCIe connector. However, the design is custom for PCIe and we haven't been able to find a board mount version.Also, we can't use the part you suggested because it requires modifying the graphics card to have different heards. If I had to do that, I'd rather just straight solder some connections to the card.How bout this... Would it be possible to 3d print one, with SLS print like shapeways, that is high of enough quality to handle it? SLS has heat deflection point at 350F, so it should be able to have an operating temp of around 200F safely.https://www.3dsystems.com/quickparts/prototyping-pre-production/selective-laser-sintering-sls/materialsCompared to molex connectors 105C operating temperature... it should be able to handle enough heat. We just need enough data to build and 3d print.
