This is great! I’ve been eyeing the same motherboard to get a similar setup but I do have a GPU. Wouldn’t that break the setup? I could only connect peripherals to the dock and handle the monitors separately. I believe that would end the one cable dream :(


Not sure if the author uses an internal or a discrete gpu, but this build does mention: “ Another weirdness is the 1 foot DP to DP cable required to connect the GPU DP-output to the Mobo DP-input. This is required to get the video stream on the Thunderbolt port.”


Assuming he only replaced the motherboard here, according to the original specs it has a small form factor 1050 ti: https://fabiensanglard.net/the_beautiful_machine/index.html


You plug the GPU into the motherboard and it then asses the displayport over the thunderbolt connection.
