I wonder how many latest generation 3 fan GPUs will fit in this MicroATX.

The Asus premium is real, you can get a B650M Aorus Elite AX for $180 hell you can get the Elite ATX form factor for $209.

The review said the the rear panel "only" had seven type-A ports. Just out of curiosity how many are most people using? Currently I'm only using one, for a dongle that communicates with my keyboard/trackball. Would anyone like to comment on how many rear USB ports are in use and for what purposes?

2x external SSDs, Vdrums module, audio interface, mouse, keyboard, USB headset, webcam, Wacom tablet. My current MOBO doesn't have enough to support everything so I'd def go for as many ports as I can get for my next build.
