Ah yes thats true, it is too wide. I found a EVGA 960 OC with one fan that you recommended, that should fit with the case closed. It will be interesting to see the temperatures i get, maybe i will have to drill some holes! I have an external monitor, so that wont be a problem. Im going to set up the internal screen mode for the windows partition, but am i correct in that there is no current way to use the eGPU to power the internal screen when running OS X?

1 - Its a late 2013 15 inch MBP 2 - it doesnt have a dGPU thankfully 3 - The parts i ordered are from overseas, but the graphics card will be bought locally so i still have some time. I think i will choose a small sized gtx 960 that will fit in the case. This looks like a good match http://www.gigabyte.com/products/product-page.aspx?pid=5369#ov 4 - Im pretty sure i understood your guide, i need a gfx with one or two 6 pin 12v plugs 5 - best case scenario i can enjoy smooth high resolution gaming on my windows partition!

Ok, so i took the simplest option i could find. I ordered a Dell DA-2 charger, i ordered the "ebay" cable for it, and of course the Akitio thunder2. So it is correct that all i have to do now is plug the ebay cable into the dell PSU, connect the ebay cable to the akitio and the GPU, and it should work without any modifications?

Hey guys, this eGPU stuff is very exciting! I haven't quite made up my mind as to what setup i want to choose for my late 2013 15 rMBP, and the PSU seems to be the confusing bit. If ive understood correctly, i can make this setup quite small by getting an akitio thunder2, an nvidia 750ti, and buy a 5 mm 19v 6.3a laptop charger to replace the standard power supply that comes with the akitio? And thats it? Follow the software guide and plug and play? Or if i choose to go with a gtx 960 i could use an old PSU from a PC i have lying around. But for the molex to barrel thing, could i just cut up the cable that comes with the akitio and twist it around the wires on a molex? Electrical tape it up and again plug and play? It is a bit daunting to drop 500 euros on something I'm not sure will work
