https://x.com/pepijndevos/status/1874089273184514329/ This quick post was just the mechanical win: mounting the bare green PCB in the open silver mini-ITX chassis on my wooden desk, screw holes aligning perfectly, IO brackets lining up for HDMI/USB cutouts and rear PCIe slot—tools and a red soldering mat scattered around. No power yet, but it screamed "SFF ARM beast incoming," validating the KiCad layout after weeks of dimension nightmares. Pure relief before the real sparks flew.
