You’re right, although I’d be considering narrower cards and maybe blowers. This is a server build, not a main rig. So I’d get a GPU that’s as close as possible to a glorified encoder ad possible and pocket the power savings. I don’t have ac where I live…

If going m-atx, there’d be enough pcie slots to get a cheap SFP+ 10G nic or better, tho…

I’ll look at the jonsbo stuff tho, thanks !

If OP need compactness, maybe micro atx or mini itx could help.

Although I’ve been thinking about doing like that I haven’t found a good cheap compact case for mass HDD storage, pcie expansion for network upgrades and GPU installs…

I can’t wait for the match group to buy them and make them just shitty enough that the couples think they’ll vibe but won’t actually work out on purpose (source: I know an insider).

I hate capitalism.

If you use any of their services, don’t bother: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Match_Group
