Hmm, I'd prefer AMD as a similarly priced intel system is literally half as powerful CPU wise (2200g + board vs Celeron/Pentium gold + board). The end goal for this system is not to be powerful, I want it to just be a NAS, but in the meantime it will be my main server so it can't be too weedy...
Anybody have a list of boards that support x8/x4/x4? Preferably AM4.
I contacted AsRock about the b450 fatal1ty itx and got told it only supports x16 or x8/x8.
Are you selling the Ameri-Rack ones? If you could send me a link so I can check if they're the right size that would be great!
That's an interesting case design, but one problem I see is the GPU is going to have almost no cooling because of the PSU being in the way.
EDIT: I got a reply from...
How long does it take for ameri-rack to respond? I want a few of the flexible 2x8 risers, for some ITX servers for my homelab (I need 10Gb SFP+ on all of them, and a GPU on 2 of them, and an HBA card on one of them as well. Going to use AsRock ITX AM4 boards). I emailed them about a year ago and...
Yeah, unless I want to go custom PCB etc etc I guess I'll have to sacrifice the port. If you didn't need a PLX chip you could just split a riser and solder these pins into into here or maybe these, but I guess with a PLX chip it would make it even more difficult than soldering that many tiny...

My current plan for my next system is an Asrock B350 itx, in a custom case (WIP). But I want an 8x slot and 2 4x slots. 8x for gpu to be passed through to windows vm, 4x for host gpu (thinking a GT 1030), and another 4x for expansion in the future (maybe a 10...
