Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 fit Apple BCM94360CD with adapter?

Hi all,

First time trying to put together a hackintosh and I'm wondering if the recommended CustoMac Nano Gigabyte Brix GB-BXi3H-4010 could potentially fit a Apple Broadcom BCM94360CD with the mini-pcie adapter?

The adapters seem to only add an additional 6mm to the card. I haven't' seen a really detailed measurements of the board, but from my googling, it looks like it would fit. Any thoughts on this?

Aside from the screw mount for the msata card, it looks like there could be room for it.

Sorry to disappoint, but "It looks like it would fit" doesn't mean squat. According to Gigabyte's specs, the full-length mini slot is for mSATA, not Mini PCIe. The two are not electrically compatible, even it fits physically. (Reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PCI_Express#PCI_Express_Mini_Card).

thanks for the clarification.

Asking once more, because I counted the pins on the photo and it looks like there are actually two mini pcie slots. One for msata and the other is a half-size mini pcie wifi card. That makes me think it would work.

Anyone else chime on this?
