Has anyone actually tried mounting the 9070xt mercury onto the case vertically? like the position above, I've been wanting to try it, but I'd rather not waste money, considering how huge of a card the 9070xt mercury is, also how long does my riser cable need to be. Any insight would be useful thank you!

Disregarding the original plagiarism controversy, there were still a lot of problems with the original WP200 iirc: like they don't give you enough brackets and the mounting are not very secured. Is there anybody who owns the WP200 and has picked up AX1000 and could shed some lights on the difference or more importantly if they fixed the previous issues such as insufficient bracketes?
Edit: specifically I meant that all those slots on the front are 5.25" bay but they only give you 2 bay bracket
Apologies for the lousy/hastily taken photos. After getting this initial configuration working, I just wanted to share! Designing the mounting mechanism for this thing so it can support plugging in/unplugging loads, within tight design constraints, was a bit of a challenge!
This is a sneak preview of a project I have been working on. It's essentially an I/O shield that mounts to the back of the case, using high quality, well specced, and readily available feedthrough connectors.
The connectors you wish to use can be customised to you liking, as can the number of them (box scales down if you use less to be more slimline).
The box can be removed from the back panel via a sliding mechanism, meaning it keeps friction during internal work to a minimum as the back panel can then be freely popped off as usual.
There's some final touches to go: e.g, hiding the cables, reducing depth/size of the box, improving the sliding lock mount mechanism etc. But quite soon I will make the project freely available, with full documentation, bill of materials etc :).
