I recently converted an old Mini-ITX machine into a PFSense box, but the old case didn't have the PCIe Dual NIC card bracket, that I added. I needed something with a small form factor that also had a pre-drilled mount for the Pico power connector. The price was right so I took a chance. Exactly what I needed. I installed all the components, including the PCI-e network card, and then ran a PCI-e extension cable from the slot to the card. A previous check showed that the cable between the case and the NIC is quite tight, but I haven't had this problem with the square connector on the NIC. I'm not sure why they deducted so many points because they're easy to fix with a $17 cable that you'll probably pick up anyway. For reference, here is the cable I used: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PMPDGGX/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Really, no complaints about the price. It looks nice but not intrusive and is very suitable for this purpose. Highly recommended.
