PCIE extender recommendations?

[Marcus Hughan]

I am considering a Dan-case a4 sfx style custom case build and I was wondering what PCIE extender would be suitable,
is 300mm long enough

3M? vs Thermaltake vs others...

real early days but I want to get the electronics in hand before I start the build.
cheers

Hey there! tips from me.

Avoid the cheap unshielded cables. From my experience their use is 'inconsistent'. 3M is thin but expensive. I have a 50 cm one myself. I've also had good success with with Li-Heat cables. The right-angle ended ones are particularly useful - and not as expensive as the 3M.

Do you know what length the DanCase uses?
