PCI Bracket for ATX connection [SUGGESTION] #9

Since the KVM will usually be outside of the server, there is no clean way to run the ATX power breakout cables to the motherboard.

Do you know/can you recommend a PCI bracket that can pass through the ATX power connector?

I'm assuming a simple 8 pin male-to-male connector block mounted to a PCI bracket should do the trick, but I have not found one on AliExpress yet.

Otherwise, everything else is great! I would use the CM4 eMMC so I don't have to depend on an SD card, and looking forward to a POE version. I would prefer this for datacenter and remote office deployments over the normal KVM.

I do recommend forking the PiKVM repo to prebuild images with Github Actions, so that we have images that are known to work with the hardware stack (in case you need to include some custom drivers or code, or PiKVM upstream does something stupid and poisons their codebase - like colors.js and faker).

LOL you should probably link to that near the top of the README.

Awesome though!

Ok stupid question: Do you have a case for the ATXA-A adapter?

It looks like the ATXA-A adapter card does not fit in the Blikvm shell, so I just need to know if I should design and 3D print a case for the adapter.

Thanks,
Bryan
