Ok I see, maybe something like this could help:
It won't make the case more topple resistant but it should stop it from sliding around.

Great, thank you, looks good.
Since I plan to travel with the PC quite a lot I am a little worried about GPU sag in the back, especially when laying the case on it‘s side. I‘m using a 5090FE. The solution I came up with was to drill two holes in the front panel and to secure the GPU to them with the two M3 mounting holes on them. Find a picture of a 3D printed proof of concept below. It seems to work well. Of course, I won‘t be using the 3D printed part to hold the GPU but will rather use it as a template to drill the holes in the metal front panel.
Does anyone see any issues with this approach? Any other ideas?

It is in production currently, so should be in around 4 weeks time.
Just got the cases yesterday, just need some time to pack them and that's itI have a 5090FE on hand this time around! You stated 4 weeks just under 4 weeks ago, so I am hopeful I can get this build done before I go on another long trip overseas in December.
Glad to hear it! Was worried that I missed an email notification about them being restocked and available. white u-ITX with gen4 riserJust got the cases yesterday, just need some time to pack them and that's it
As a side question, @riba2233, do you have any way to provide something like this support bracket? I don’t have any sort of metalworking capability to DIY one myslf, but I would love to have a similar bracket for my 4080 FE.
Next week and yes, just shoot me a pm.
Btw an important notice for everyone from the US, shipping will be much more expensive until they figure out tariffs since I will have to ship via DHL; you might also have to pay some additional fees on arrival, I am really sorry but I can't do anything about it at the moment, just hope that they will remove them at least for de minimis or something similar.

If it’s any help, FedEx is usually quite a bit cheaper to ship to the US if you go through the intake with a sales representative.
Thanks, I will check with them if they have some minimal quantities, base price is similar to DHL. Only think I'm concerned about is their lackluster service in the USA, I have read so many horror storied when Steamdeck launched
But in the meantime, as you sort that out, your shipments to other countries aren’t affected, right?Thanks, I will check with them if they have some minimal quantities, base price is similar to DHL.

Of course, only the US is problematic currently. For the rest of the world I have shipping prices lower now
Someone finally did it

Hi @riba2233 - interested in shipping to the UK, got a couple of questions I'd hope you can answer:
Checking when the U-ITX or P-ATX will be restocked in black and estimated shipping fees?
Also, what length and PCI-E riser should I be looking at if I want to get a Gen 5 one off Aliexpress? (dual reverse?)
Recommended max thickness of GPUs?
Any advice for a horizontal layout? I'm planning on getting some speaker stands to elevate and give more airflow. The Fractal Ridge has 80mm fans along the GPU and CPU to exhaust hot air out, wondering if that's been used similarly.
I had a similar case from Taobao (S59) a while back but I found the workmanship rough around the edges, think I cut my finger on a few of the panels.
Cheers!
