Desoldering connectors

[theicywizard notjustanywiz]

Hello everyone,

I wonderd,

i have a crazy idea for a super small computer in a custom case......

For this case it would be kinda usefull to be able to desolder connecters like the memery slots and pci-e slot,

now my question to you guys is, would i be able to do any of this??? 

The things i like to desolder and directly connect the component to my motherboard using ribboncables or something are the following ones:

the one pci-e connector (i'm going to use a mini-itx motherboard), the two memory slots and the rear i-o.

the motherboard i want to use is the msi z97i gaming ack.

this one:

So, do you guys think this is possible.... In anyway.... or not even close to possible..... (maybe with another motherboard?)

maybe it gets a little easier to understand when i tell you my idea, my idea is to have a super super slim case about 2,8 a 3 cm thick with a motherboard a sideways grapics card a watercooled cpu and a ssd in it, then i would make the watercooling system and powersuply external with quick disconects, and tada i would have a super slim 'computer' that i can cary arround with me.

the main problems are:

the rear i-o and memory sticks will be too high for the case..... for the gpu this can be solved by buying an extender with a flexible ribbon cable to put it sideways....

however there aren't any memory slot extenders so i could position them sideways.......

And the rear i-o can't be put sideways anyway without desoldering, or removing it in some way....

maybe this explains it a bit more:

 

Thanks in regards,

P.S. does anyone of you guys know how high the rear i-o is i can't find the height dimmensions for this motherboard anywhere..... (need it for a 3-d drawing, using a picture and some measuring and calculating. I figgured out that the highest thing on the motherboard is the 6- audio jack block, being about 2,6 cm... is this correct???)

P.P.S.: sorry for bad english

Pretty sure you can just get extenders. For all of it.

FruitBasketSilex, 

Thanks for your reply, my problem is however that the rear i-o (i, just measured it using a picture) is too high for the thing i have in mind......

so... it would be really nice if i could just desolder the rear i-o and turn al of the rear i-o 90 degrees

so they are a lower then they are when standing upwards.

Why not just get extenders and make your own rear I/o? Something like male Ethernet to female Ethernet and things like that.

I still don't understand the reasoning for the io. Get a m-itx mobo and work from there. Might become a tad long though, simply because you need physical space.

Nope.
