  1. After getting the 2.1mm screw-in terminal quoted somewhere, I realised that it doesn't fit in the akitio case... Ordering an adapter now... Can't wait to try out.

    After trying to break open the welded point with hammer and flat-tool without success, i went mad and used a steel cutter to chop the whole part off...

  2. A Titan fits into an opened AKiTiO Thunder2: http://forum.techinferno.com/implementation-guides-apple/8469-2014-15-mbp-gt750m-titan_z%4016gbps-tb2-akitio-thunder2-osx10-10-%5Bgarytyler%5D.html#post115647 . You can see that the 2.5-slot width card required an extra plate to be bent where the slot faceplate is to allow the extra width.

    Please see the Don't want to solder? section of http://forum.techinferno.com/enclosures-adapters/8317-%5Bguide%5D-making-molex-barrel-adapter.html#post113069 that has been linked from Dschjin's guide above.

    1. You can fit any card, if you bend open the AKiTiOs inner cage. Of course you will not be able to use the outer case! Looks a bit "ghetto", but totally works.

    2. Please get a 2xMolex -> 1x6-Pin PCIe cable adapter. You can cut off the 6-Pin PCIe, remove 1cm of the isolation on the black and yellow wires and stick them into a barrel plug with screw terminal. The only tool you need for that is a scissor.

    Thanks guys!! I think the Titan X is a double-slot only so I wouldn't need to bend the inside too much. Now just waiting for all the parts to come!!!

  3. Thanks. I'm a total beginner here so I have a few questions if you don't mind:

    - I want to use a EVGA Titan X SO. I assume that it can fit in an opened Akitio as it's a full-length, full-height, double-width?

    - Since you're in the Europe, are you aware of any ready-to-use molex-to-barrel adapter on sale? I'm not very good with soldering...
