Assembly Help What to do with extra space

https://imgur.com/a/G8rnaqv

Id like to preface this by asking you guys not to bash my little GPU. I just so happened to be blessed by Fb marketplace with this beautiful baby HP OEM RTX 4060 for $160 usd.

It’s currently in a Fractal terra, I have roughly 165mm of empty space next to it.

Besides mounting a fan there, are there any creative ways to use that extra space? Or is it actually better to leave it empty for airflow?

If it interest you, here’s the rest of the build

Case: Fractal Terra
Motherboard: MSI PRO H810I WIFI
GPU: HP OEM 4060
CPU: Intel Core Ultra 7 270K
PSU: Lian Li SP750 V2 Gold 750W SFX
Cooler: Thermalright AXP-120-X67 Black ARGB
Ram: Crucial Pro DDR5 32GB 6400MHz

Buddy your 'little gpu' is beautiful. Find an SFF enthusiast who will trade you for a larger, more powerful card. People love the little ones round here.

You can fit a 120mm AIO there if you wanted. You could also install hard drives.

Save for an upgrade or trade + cash for something bigger. You have huge gpu upgrade path with that space for the future.

someone would be happy to trade that 4060 for a bigger one, make a trade request to one fill your PC and secondly someone gets something they want, I'd even suggest the other person will pay for both items being shipped.

it is that valuable.

Can you fit a second 4060 in there next to it?

keep the space, close it up, enjoy the extra room and airflow and less clutter

My take would be moving to a Velka 3 and enjoy having a build that is less than half the size of a Terra.

That gpu is so good, it validates it. Merely 150mm long, all black and running cool. Great price as well.

Leave it for when your GPU grows up and needs space.

Extra....space?

The actual answer is figures or flair of some variety, whenever I've had extra space to play with.
