He is placing a huge premium on the novelty of connecting a GPU over Thunderbolt3. I got the impression that the author was completely out of touch with the economics of the situation. When the article wrapped I thought he was completely nuts. Nearly 500 for a GPU CASE? PROBABLY less than 10% hit to performance due to Thunderbolt3?! I also nearly took offense to this setup being presented as future-proof. I'll admit it's pretty cool, but until there is a better GPU interconnect and a GPU case that doesn't alone cost more than a very good video card.. I'll stick with the mini-ITX build I'm planning.
