    shucking it for use as an enclosure

    You mean replacing the 7600M with something else?

    My frame of reference for shucking is taking a portable HDD device and extracting the actual HDD for price savings.

      lol yeah, I couldn’t think of the right word so borrowed that one. But I suppose we don’t usually shuck oysters and keep just the shells lol. I only meant opening / replacing some of its guts. But I didn’t explore it. It would be wasted effort if, for example, the controllers and interface were all on the same board as the gpu, because then you would still have to get at least a PCIe oculink riser in there, even if you could use original heatsinks.
