Actually... I've kinda overhauled the setup.... I have it working with 3x-24" VG249QE monitors on a 2011 MacMini (OSX) and also a 2nd SSD for BootCamp (Windows10). Also can remove the eGPU and connect it to my MacBook Pro laptops if I need gaming on the go. I imagine if I post the link to my eGPU setup (from another forum) that might be frowned upon, so as to not tick anyone off here a few of the many pictures from that site. (If you want to know the other forum name/url, PM me and I can let you know). I'm using the Dell DA-2 power supply (slightly modified), IMHO, its far more superior to the Rocksoul unit. I actually dissembled the Rocksoul PSU to inspect it and it is very cheaply made and I mean VERY CHEAPLY made! Gobs of glue/goop all over the components, which look like they were assembled by a kindergartens class. Components are bent out of place. Just very unimpressed by it. The DA-2 is a lot heavier duty, when I took it apart you can instantly see a difference in technologies being used. Case modified with grill/EVGA logo Custom harness from eBay that I re-worked so it would match the pin-out for the DA-2, cleaned it up with some heatshrink. Its a 8-pin connector that plugs into the 8-pin DA-2 with a barrel connector for the case power A layout of the components I used....

Hello Forum! This is my first port, just wanted to say hello and I have purchased this setup from @nowai_david Or at least the Akitio Thunder2 case/PSU. I will be rebuilding it as soon as I receive it from him (bought off eBay). My plans are to throw a EVGA GTX 1060 SC 3Gb card in it. I will be hooking it up to a Mid 2011 Mac mini (just reloaded Sierra on it yesterday).... in hopes of using 3- 24" ASUS VG248 monitors for some mild 1080P/1440P gaming aside daily office work. I'm fairly new to the eGPU setups, but well versed in UNIX/Linux. Hopefully this will be a smooth setup.
