I got so tired of all these eGPU enclosures launching at more than the GPUs themselves that I just ended up building my own for about £15. Sure it's a bit messy, took a bit of soldering and recycling and only has a x1 link but it's plug n play and turns my ageing T430(Modified to take quad core i7's) into a more than capable 1080p gaming machine.

I'd do a build log but I constantly find new things to change about it and it never feels finished, heck I've even considered selling the pre-soldered ExpressCard adapters through my store after friends asked about it but I doubt there's that much interest. Technically the GDC Beast has an EC version of their PCIe extender(~£50 for a full system) but the signal quality & noise susceptibility is abysmal.

This is just so... meh. The Dan Case A4 SFX is smaller and can even pack an entire high end machine. This? Only a GPU.
