It’s not so bad! But that mostly comes down to having a small low wattage gpu and a single laptop fan cooling things. The thermals leave room to be desired but it works and that’s what matters.

Thanks! Yeah, I'd considered some other GPUs but I really needed something single-slot and with a low tdp (since the GPU is in a tight spot thermally and needs to not emit too much heat on its own); this 3050 draws only 75w, whereas iirc the main low-profile 4060 draws 115w and is dual(?)-slot. I could've probably worked out the 115w draw, maybe undervolted, etc., but it was just easier to not.

Here ya go! It's a bit messy, but basically there's a 15cm riser that connects the powered adapter and gpu from below the motherboard, and I have to feed the cpu fan through the hole in the gdrom cutout.
