Use these parts to mount an esp32 microcontroller board to a SATA powered aRGB hub to make a multichannel aRGB controller.  First drill two 3mm holes 20mm from the ends of the hub circuit board.  Use a sharp knife to break the board traces connecting all the data lines on all the hub header connectors together.  Solder short wires to the individual data traces for each header.  Then mount the hub and standoffs to the bottom case with M3 screws.  Mount the esp32 board to the standoffs with M2 screws.  Then solder the header data likes to the DIO pins of the esp32 board.  This gives a multi-channel aRGB controller powered by the computer SATA cable for multiple high current LED devices like fans, strips, or an LED matrix.
