I put in some hours into outlining the height requirement in my doc, will have to try and make some proper drawings for thickness (2-slot requirements / explanation) and length, and then showcase some case topology variants which will probably burn most of the time here.


I'm not sure how should we treat a situation where we have 2-slot card that has 8-pin cable on top and is 305mm long - should this be generally acceptable that the cable will go in front of the fans or over the backplate because the case is exactly 305mm long? It feels like we should have cards that are 295mm long instead to be able to route the cable around, but then this cable would go exactly in front of the exhaust from radiator.


Also the oversize only up front of the card may seem weird. I'm considering if sticking to purely reference size OR stealth design makes sense over allowing room for shenanigans with oversize when the power connector is on top of the card.


Finally - any ideas on how to split up the work with this? Anyone interested and willing to do some graphics for markings/badges that would look like a kind of award, or help with the text and formatting of the doc? Few people who commented here have quite a lot of posts on the forum, so I'd assume they are experienced...
