Okay. So I got the connector. Here it is:Unfortunately, it is not the right key configuration. It requires 6mm of clearance for a through hole PCB design. ATX specs says you don't need the receptacle in question, so it removed and still work. However, there doesn't seem to be a simple way to remove it without damaging the connector.So, if MOLEX can theoretically make a batch of a PCIe configuration for this, but the run itself would cost in the thousands... So you'd probably have to find 1,000 people who wants one.And finally, examining the plastic, it is very high quality. There is no way for us to replicate this unless we use one of those high-tech engineer-grade 3d printer.
