Just use the OCuP4V2 dock, it has the proper mount to secure the GPU and the PSU. No enclosure, your cat either need to leave it alone or you will need to be creative.
If you are into eGPU, and is firm about the 13/14 size don’t get the Framework. This “Pro” version is disappointing, not coming with USB 4.2 or TB5, Dell released last year a Dell Pro 14 with 2 TB5, they will probably release more this year and Lenovo will announce their Thinkpad 2026 lineup tomorrow: mactivity.lenovo.com.cn/smb/thinkxp-c.html?pmf_gr…

This dock does not fix any of the problems I mentioned. It is (like all the others) just a simple metall plate with a PCIe and OcuLink Connector…So again a flimsy solution for tinkerers at best. Thunderbolt 5 is, from a Performance point of view, a rather inferior solution compared to OcuLink performing in a lot of cases worse. See the testing results from “Try some tech”: pcgameshardware.de/…/Thunderbolt-5-vs-Oculink-You… Therefor I would rather take the Downside of a non-Hot-plug solution like OcuLink. But I want a proper Docking solution for a Desk and not this “bare metal” stuff we have right now.
