By removing the normal VME cage it is possible to quite nicely fit the entire Nova and graphics card inside the TT. I used some aluminium and strong glue (araldite) if anyone else attempts this please remember to file down all your sharp solder points on the PCB and insulate.

Re: My new internal graphics frame for NOVA.
It would be nice to have a SMT nova card with the components on the top only. :coffee:

Nice build @Steve. Still way too much board for my liking though. It would still do my OCD in knowing there is all that cable in there :)

It looks quite neat when installed to be honest...

Very nice, looks much cleaner than the way I did it.
Guess I'll revisit my setup.
Thanks for sharing!

@Steve That's a great job.
I would literally buy this from you. :)
I don't have time to build that but would really love one (to save all my leads/card hanging perilously out the back of the machine).
