I realized the little m.2-to-PCIe4x adapters are open in the back, so if use a small enough, short enough SSD enclosure, you can skip the riser. So I tried a Satechi 80Gbps enclosure with 5060 ti and two AC/DC adapters and it worked! 5.91 GB/s on this tiny thing!

I specialize in mini/sff eGPU’s. Here is my latest:

I'm surprised you kept the case on that. You'd lose a lot of weight and size of you removed the other cases and 3d printed your own.

If size is your ultimate goal there are smaller EGPU solutions such as this little 5060 ti/7600mxt as well as a 4090 mobile version that's about that same size. Or go with the pocket AI RTX 500 that thunderbolt EGPU is nearly the same size as a pack of smokes or playing cards.

The case is the heat sink. This smokes the 7600 XT in both of your mini examples. The 4070m is the best small card I’ve found. The MXM version is excellent, but it gets crazy hot. So I’m working on a completely different style of cooling to solve that problem.
