    Hmm...

    If I may, this is the first time where I'm not 100% behind your work. Rather, 99% behind you and 1% hesitation.

    I imagine a case like this one should last through a few hardware cycles (more to the point I like to design for contingency), so what about GPUs that need 8pin connectors?

    So my 2c...

    My idea would be to drill out 8x4 holes (add 4 holes to each "end" of what you've just drilled) in the acrylic. Drill and tap 2 holes at the front and back of the wire pass-thru holes. Then cut out a larger...um, cutout, in the upper midplate (need to widen the cutout in the original midplate as well, but not as much, just enough to clear the holes). Make 3 more plates with 6x4, 8x4, 6x2+8x2 pass-thru holes respectively, drill and countersink 2 holes in each plate to match the 2 tapped holes in the acrylic. There you go, interchangeable plates for GPUs with different power requirements. Something like that.

    EDIT:
    Just saw that Xion mentioned a similar thing, I'm late to the party.
    I think you're thinking of NaMcO's recent project named...The Project (iirc).
