Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
Oh I see! It looks like the dimensions are much larger:
1U: 81.5 mm (W) x 40.5 mm (H) x 170 mm (D)
HDPlex: 51.5 (W) x 30 (H) mm x 160(L)
As the V3 is specifically compatible with the HDPlex, I imagine you'd have to perform a very creative mod to make it fit.
Ohhh I see what you're saying, I misread the first part of your post. I am using the modded brick yes, which is fine, but a completely internal solution would be best, I agree. I don't really know where you'd put this converter, especially with the 120mm AIO, but it would be fun to figure out.

tl;dr: it is...
Zotac 1080 mini has two fans, gigabyte mini has one. I recommend checking out some reviews on differences between mini cards and their performance, acoustics, and thermals; it seems like we may not be working off the same set of data. Either way, it does sound like you've narrowed down your...
The fan under the PSU does help a little with motherboard temps, though I never noticed any appreciate CPU as I was using the 92mm AIO already. It did not feel worth the turbulence noise it generates overall.
The external power brick I use with my HDPlex is somewhat bulky, but the entire...
The difference between blower and non blower typically comes down to which is more important: keeping the card cool (non-blower) or keeping the rest of your computer cool (blower). You can undervolt and tweak fan curves to control acoustics and heat, though out of the box non-blowers are...

Here is a post containing my two previous V2 92mm AIO builds, all of which I was able to close the side panel on without issue. RAM choice matters, you need to have low profile ram.
I have an EVGA FTW 1080 and the fans spin slowly enough up until about 45% that I almost confuse them with noctua fans.
Almost.
Yeah it's a thing but compared to the CPU side my experience has been less...uh...turbulent.
