they publish .step 3d models on the site <3 time to print out and see how it fits in the case.. I screwed off the mounting bracket from the gpu because it'll be backwards in the case lol

@dumpsterqueer@ondergrond.org ours is also pretty extensive and would be ok to use :)

after looots of mental rotation/translation visualization on how this would fit in the case + with the motherboard, I found that the R43NR is perfect aliexpress.com/item/1005001631

still hate crypto mining but at least they made some weird hardware available now (FPGA's and cursed pcie adaptors)

@erikk@chaos.social as I read it it should work fine, i guess hardware/cpu wise it makes sense to have 2 pcie slots, there's just no space on top of the (small) motherboard to just have a full slot

@erikk@chaos.social hmmm yeah this should just work, maybe needs a longer cable though aliexpress.com/item/3282895326

@erikk@chaos.social oh yeah that's cool, makes sense since it is just pcie too after all. No way that vertical header would fit though because it's on the bottom of the motherboard..

I should look at generic M.2 to fullsize pcie tho

@haskal @Anarkat@hackers.town yeah rather misleading (mis)infographic it seems, and of course when there's more fireworks used, there will be more fires caused by them...

@Anarkat like, yeah it's a problem that 58% of fireworks fires occur during this one week (i didn't check that figure, let's assume it's true) but consider that by actual total number of fires, there is over 10x more arson for example

alternatively I could also use the M.2 slot on the bottom of the motherboard to connect just a fifth drive, and have the gpu (for pi IP-KVM) in the pci slot

oh apparantly my motherboard just supports pcie bifurcation.

it's a fully passive lane split

these cards still cost a 100 euros

for a ribbon cable + 2 pcie connectors

i want a custom PCIe card to do both basic vga video and provide 2x SATA for the single x16 slot, but both the routing, and components seem very complex :/

you can have polar grids... something i really really miss when designing round pcbs

Show thread

biggest worry being I'll get too used to very hip and good features and then really miss them when using kicad again :|

so i'm gonna be using altium, sad it's not foss but it does look super cool
