Wouldn't the PCMCIA card thickness be an issue when using a CPU module?
According to the mechanical drawing on page 32 of the v1.0 GR8 datasheet the SoM is at maximum 1.12mm thick. This should fit nicely inside even the 3.5mm typeI EOMA68 case. https://github.com/NextThingCo/CHIP_Pro-Hardware/blob/master/Datasheets/GR8_...

that's the SoC itself. the "mechanical drawing" for the CHIP_PRO v1.0 module states that it's a total of 5.2mm in height. TOP component clearance is 1.4mm, there's an OTG connector on it which will be... 2.5mm or so... no idea.
actual dimensions are 45 x 30mm so yes _easily_ fits length-height-wise into the 78.1 x 43.something size of an EOMA68 PCB.

3.3mm not 3.5mm. you'd almost certainly need a 0.8mm PCB (costly), bear in mind that you can't put that flat onto the bottom of the case, and so you'd have to source ultra-low-height power inductors (most likely ferrite beads).
