**Q: Does it fit?**  
Yes — surprisingly, it *does* fit.

---

**Q: How did you install it?**

Here’s the step-by-step:

1. Remove the front panel.
    
2. Unscrew the female end of the PCIe riser.
    
3. Seat the GPU into the PCIe riser.
    
4. Slide the GPU into the back I/O slot.
    
5. Screw the PCIe riser’s female end back into place.
    
6. Reattach the front panel.  
    → *Note:* You won’t be able to screw in the middle bolt that connects the spine to the front panel — and that’s totally fine. With three other screws holding it all together, structural integrity isn’t compromised.
    

Done. You’re good.

**Q: Is it travel-ready?**  
Yes — with a little DIY bracing.

There’s about 0.8 cm of clearance between the GPU and the front panel. I wedged in folded cardboard to prevent lateral movement during travel. Zero wobble. To stop any front-to-back motion, I added an L-shaped metal bracket. Everything is snug.

On the CPU side, I’m using the [Noctua NH-L12 Ghost S1 Edition](https://noctua.at/en/nh-l12-ghost-s1-edition). Its heatsink touches the side panel, keeping it stable. There’s about a 1mm gap, so adding some rubber stickers could make it even more secure, but it’s already pretty solid.

**Q: Why put a super expensive GPU in such a tiny build?**  
Because I wanted a semi-portable AI training rig with 96GB of VRAM — and I travel often. Compact and powerful was the goal.

---

**Q: Why not choose FormD T1 or Ncase M2 or Lian Li A4 H20**  
FormD T1 wasn’t available, and I passed on Lian Li A4 H20 because it didn’t look as premium as the other cases. M2 was a strong contender but at the time of writing the Ncase website didn’t ship to US addresses.

But I kinda like the fact that I went with Ghost S1 because it is the smallest of all. It does really fit into your backpack. First day I built, it put it on my backpack and travelled.

---

**Q: Would you recommend this build?**  
Still too early to tell, but just having server level (H100) configuration inside 8 litter case which I can put inside a backpack really is something.

**Q: Where did you buy RTX Pro 6000**  
From [**PC Connection**](https://www.connection.com/).

**Q: Performance numbers? Noise level? Heat?**  
None yet — will update once I’ve run some benchmarks.
