Looking forward to modify the Akitio Thunder 2 and the build. Putting it in a case and switch button to power. 2 months in used as for now no issue found.
How are you finding the noise and heat? I love these mini eGPUs but found the card got hot and loud pretty quick...

I don't put it cover and I choose corsair psu which is fine for me. Beside I put it also inside my desk drawer, as for now no noise issue and working fine.
