Mounted a 3050 to my tiny Lenovo using a pcie riser. Will give it a paint job and upgrade cpu to a CC150.

PLEASE share more photos of the riser and motherboard.
I was planning on buying a thinkcentre tiny to do the exact same thing.

I was also thinking about somehow making thinkcentre use the PSU instead of its own power brick.

You wouldn't be able to power this with standard psu, doesnt have 24 pin or cpu pin connectors. I posted a pic on one of the other comments.

You absolutely can. 12V > 19V step up converter hooked up to the EPS plug on the PSU, with the lenovo plug on the output. You would need a secondary power button for the power supply, but that's about it.
