hey there i have a air540 case love it to bit but i really want to mount my gpu vertical as it look very nice lol.... is there a kit at all to rotate the pci I/O on the case to let me do this ... if not that are peoples i dears
if its the first way you will hvae to buy a PCI-E ribbon cable and mode the case to where you can hook up cables and a mounting bracket of some sort so it doesn't fall.
If is the second you will have to find a PCI-E ribbon cable that can flex very easy so you can twist and then same find a way to mount and cut open the case so you can attach cables.
The first way lol sorry should have made that clear
There won't be a kit so run a rail/bracket across the opening of the case and a couple of tabs off that to support the GPU.
Then buy a 16 x PCIE ribbon extension cable, preferable a branded one not the cheapest one you can find on Amazon :)

250MM long version I got was $86 just for the cable ($11 shipping)
500MM long version is obviously going to be more $$$
Try the one below. It's a decent quality Thermaltake extension cable for one of their own cases. Appears to be a good wire gauge and has a locking tab at the GPU end. No problem in my mining rig.
I did I see those 3M cables on my initial search but like a lot of the audiophile stuff very much a case of diminishing returns.
