My full plan is to stuff the AKiTiO board, RX 480/GTX 980 Ti, and an ATX PSU inside a mini ITX case. While I'm waiting for the case to arrive, I thought why don't I try the RX 480 board by itself inside the AKiTiO enclosure for fun and sure enough it fits. It's obviously not a very good cooling system the way it is. With just the heatsink, it reminds me of the GT7300 cards that came in 1,1 Mac Pro.The mini ITX case has room for a slot optical drive which sparked an idea that I could build a base-station kinda dock for a Thunderbolt equipped Mac laptop. I can plug a single cable into the Thunderbolt port and instantly have access to a powerful GPU, optical drive, external hard drive, and ethernet connection. Also on its way is a Thunderbolt 2 dock with USB3, eSATA, Ethernet, and audio I/O ports. If all goes according to plan, I will have a working box by the end of the weekend.
