I just built a rig with a Romed8-2T as well. I got pcie 3 16x risers and zip-tied them above the tower into a rack shelf above it. It's super ghetto, and I can't believe it works, but it totally does. I'm hosting on vast.ai hoping someone will train with my 4-6 3090s, but everyone wants their large language models and image generation models that require more than the 24GB of RAM. shrug

Maybe some day I'll use it myself to train my plastic surgery outcome estimation visualization GAN or diffusion model if I can figure out how to fine-tune one.

I once had some zip ties which became brittle after a few months and would simply snap. Might be something to watch out for.
There are very cheap high quality metal zip ties on Amazon, wouldn't recommend anything else since the heat from the card would just melt it.
Damn, could you share photo somewhere
