I would suggest keeping at least one USB port. You may find it useful when installing software, to connect a USB keyboard and mouse

I would assume I would still need the riser if keeping one of the ports because of the height ?

I thought you were going to use an H5? In which case, I think leaving the furthest USB port stack might clear everything

As it's a Pi 4 you'll need a heatsink on the CPU and chipset chips with some sort of fan.
Intro retro computers since before they were retro...
ZX81->Spectrum->Memotech MTX->Sinclair QL->520STM->BBC Micro->TT030->PCs & Sun Workstations.
Added code to the MiNT kernel (still there the last time I checked) + put together MiNTOS.
Collection now with added Macs, Amigas, Suns and Acorns.

I don't use a fan, however, my Pi stands vertically.
There aren't many of us using PiStorm to be fair, and every setup seems to be different, meaning there is no defacto setup.
