I recently got a little tablet laptop, and learned that over thunderbolt you could plug in a GPU with a little dock board.

My desktop had a liquid cooled GPU so it became a whole thing to get it out and dockable.

I always wanted to mess with 2020 aluminum extrusion so this was my chance.

Its been a couple weeks work at this point and I’m in the home stretch. I have it running now so its just about tidying up and finding a good way to mount the acrylic panels after doing a final coolant flush

I also wanted to say thank you to all the comments from my last post when i first got my mitre saw for this project. it really made me be cautious when making my cuts, I always took my time clamping my pieces down and then going through the motion of making the cut with the saw powered off before making the cut https://leminal.space/post/24432635

Oh man 80/20? That’s gotta be an expensive case. How are you fastening the sections? I don’t see any corner connectors or anything?

If you click through to the original post I have more pictures there.

I tapped the ends of the cuts and drilled holes on through the other piece and slid screws down the slot and used the drilled hole to get the Allen key through
