I'd really like to find a case that would hold my RockPro64 with heatsink, WiFi/BT module + PCI-E M.2 NVMe SSD Card. Does anyone know of any available or "coming soon" cases that would work? -- Ever hopeful -- Andy

and extend the legs to 70mm you end up with a really nice looking case. I used some aluminum tube that slides over the existing legs and then used some longer m8 bolts to re-attach the top.

Does anybody knows if it would it fit in the "NAS" case?
Do you think they would be any benefit/disadvantage in the added power supply?

lol... yeah... it's nothing more than a M-keyed M.2 -> FFC ribbon connector, just like how the rockpro64 adapter is a M-keyed M.2 one, but to PCIe x4 in that instance. I've actually ordered one of these riser card extenders to see if I can mount the NVMe adapter card differently... as then I can think about putting the rockpro64 in a case...
Derp: Would be a good idea to actually past the link I intended to paste in... :facepalm: ... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33040463627.html

This is at least what @pfeerick is trying to do

Not quite.... my intention is to use the standard Rockpro64 NVMe adapter, and use a PCIe riser cable with it (it's somewhere between China and Australia now ), making it so I can reposition the NVMe card on the end of the cable (e.g. place it under the rockpro64 on standoffs). May not be the best position heatwise (as NVMe's do self-heat, and performance degrades with heat), but we'll see. Other option is to simple have the NVMe card beside the rockpro64, making it simply so that what ever case it eventually goes in doesn't have to be so high, or can even have just the heatsink protruding through for ventilation.
