Like someone who buys this for the looks wont wanna get an ATX 3.0 psu

Why not have the cable run out the back of the PC via the backplate, it already has DP/HDMI coming off, these cards are all multi slot so there is plenty of room, and it would look way neater inside. Routing it to the PSU would also be easy.

I'm sure NV tested this cable and how it attaches etc, but they no doubt did this using staff/engineers. A well known car company uses normal peeps to 'play' with the cars during the design phase, my father in law does this. He gets called to a factory and given a car to play about with, being just an ordinary guy with no real car knowledge or passion he often finds issues that the designers and engineers havnt. The public do things that often the designer didn't anticipate. And example being the BMW X7 being pushed as a great family car and the seats are designed with you children in mind, yeah thats great until the young child kicks the hell out of the TV screen on the back of the front seats and there is no obvious way to remove/detach it. If you want to sell something to the average guy in the street, then it needs to be tested by the average guy in the street.

tells you how clueless some of 4090 buyers are. I think a normal diy pc enthusiast will be fine if they stick to nvidia's guidelines.

Asrock has come a loooooooooooong way since the old days. This is one of the classiest and most beautiful card mobo designs I've ever seen. I like this a lot. The design has an aura of luxury. Gurus, I've read so many debates going back and forth but let's be honest. The 7900XTX is gonna rock and further deliver the goods with FSR 3.0. It seems like AMD is doing their own thing and going with the flow like Nintendo. They may make an adjustment to counter Nvidia's price cut. That would be cool.

Those guys possibly make up the bulk of buyers.
