Hi, how is your interesting project going?
Regarding the mounting of the RP64 board to the ITXATX case: Why not make an adapter plate (metal or 3d printed), screw the RP64 to that and then screw the adapter plate to the case?
Regarding the PCIe card: There are not just static riser cards but also plenty of riser "cables" available, so it should be no problem getting this done.
Another more difficult aspect would be access to ports from the outside. You could attach also extensions here (e.g. for the microSD slot or the USB ports) but it will probably not work with everything. Also connecting the buttons and LEDs could turn out to be a challenge.
One more thing that would be interesting: Which heatsink/fan are you planning to use for the SoC?
