MS-02 "Special Slot" HBA options

I've got an MS-02 Ultra 285HX as my daily driver. I picked up a 235 model to consolidatea some server hardware. My goal is to have an Intel Arc Pro B50 16gb in the 2-slot PCIe bay, and an HBA in the NIC/special slot.

Since the B50 doesn't need the PCIe power plug, I plan on using it to wire a 12v blower van to actrively cool the HBA.

I don't have a ton of drives to hook up; an 8e card is sufficient. Has anyone had any experience putting this configuration together?
