So recently I scored one of these at Goodwill for 8$
So, I want to expand the base with a fresh built wood enclosure, and throw a PC into the base to run MAME.
For a PC, I have an i5 7500 Lenovo Tiny which has an NVME slot on the bottom of the system:
I've already verified that it's a PCIE x4 slot down there, so that's not a concern. Plus, it doesn't require anything super challenging to leave the slot exposed and running.
Now for the challenging part. I'm considering using a BPlus PE4C NVME -> PCI-E x16 Adapter kit:

to put a spare GTX970 into the box. (A 970, cuz it's in my closet already, and not an expense.)
Is there any reason to expect this setup wouldn't work together?
