You can get 90 degree adapters for the motherboard power connector and PCI, and low profile ram. the issue then is getting a low profile heatsink for the CPU. There are waterblocks but not many with edge ports.
There are also boards like this that have the RAM mounted flat, a lower profile set of ports on the back, and take in 19v DC: https://www.asrockind.com/en-gb/IMB-193 https://www.asrockind.com/en-gb/IMB-193
- javajosh 4y ago>the issue then is getting a low profile heatsink for the CPU You'd have to make something custom, but I think it would be much simpler than typical heat sinks. With air cooling, the vertical placement would be ideal, since convection will tend to suck cool air from the bottom and release it on the top. (I think the iMac does/did this). Even for water cooling, it would be simpler with far fewer turns in the pipe. Plus, I just like the idea of laying everything out flat instead of the weird 3-D origami that is modern PC design.
