Send us your old tech
A mini PC from an old setup, the graphics card from your last upgrade, a phone in a drawer: send it to us, free of charge. We reimburse your shipping.
Build something with us
For hardware brands, fellow creators and anyone who needs a part that does not exist yet: what we make, who it reaches, and four ways to work together.
Nineteen degrees: notes from the EliteDesk tests
11 logged stress runs. With the five-fan mount, the NVMe drive peaked 19.0°C cooler and the chipset 13.0°C cooler than stock, and the CPU 9.0°C cooler than with our legacy mount.
The whole collection in one scroll
Twenty-seven designs: four corners of a setup and eight made to order. A quick map of everything in [creations], from the case to the keyring.
Release notes: the site, October 2026
A page for every design, in-stock labels, notify-me emails, site-wide search, new drawings and a much faster [creations]. Updated with HD previews, a step viewer and more.
Find the right fit
Measurements, setup and care, before and after you order.
One thumbscrew
The 120 mm PCIe fan mount takes a single expansion-slot position and goes in with the case thumbscrew. What that means for your case, and what it does not.
In the box, and what you bring
Fans, screws, phones and trackers. Design by design, what arrives with the part and what to have ready before it does.
Which way should the air go?
Six questions about pointing a PCIe fan mount, answered before the fan goes into the box.
The two-minute fit check
A tickable checklist for every design. Grab a ruler, open the case, and work down the list before you order.
Five turns to a supported graphics card
Measure, set it short, stand it, turn until it just meets, check. A GPU support shares the weight; it never lifts the card.
Nine ways to tidy two tubes
A plain comb or one of eight brand logos, plus a red-logo ASUS clip. Pick one, press it on, and the tubing reads as one clean line.
A care card for every part
Why our parts are manufactured from premium PETG-HF, and the one or two habits each design appreciates.
A quiet passenger under the bottle cage
An AirTag or UGREEN FineTrack holder that rides between the frame and the bottle cage, held by the cage’s own bolts.
Five habits of a cool mini PC
Small PCs breathe through small openings. Room, cleanliness, fan direction, tidy cables, and knowing what a fan mount can do.
A builder’s glossary
Sag, shroud, intake, low-profile, PCH: the words that show up in our guides, explained in a sentence each.
Which PCIe fan mount fits your build?
Compare mounting footprints, read our recorded cooling results, and see what the test does—and does not—establish.
Choosing an adjustable GPU support
Start with the height available in your case, then compare the two adjustment ranges in our collection.
The Importance of Airflow in Your PC: What We Learned
How fan placement and available space affect airflow, with later observations from our PCIe fan test.
Explore the designs
The thinking behind the parts, and where they fit.
Hand-tight
Under the desk is out of reach; on the desk is in the way. A screw clamp puts your headphones on the edge in between.
Three rules for a sleeve
No drilling, no glue, nothing you cannot undo in a minute. How those rules shaped the EliteDesk 800 Mini fan mount.
Five centimetres of space
A hook that hides under the Corsair 5000D’s top grille, held in place by the dust filter you already have.
Click, on the go
Gateron Blue switches and raised keycaps on your keyring. One key, two keys or three.
Anatomy of a snap
One puck, one track, three magnets. What happens in the last few millimetres, and which of the three sizes to choose.
Nightstand, sorted
A home for the watch, the charging puck and the cable that usually wanders off the edge.
Three small things for a calmer desk
A phone stand with a cable slot, a grip that doubles as a stand, and a low-profile rest for a DualSense controller.
Wearing your team colours
NVIDIA or Radeon, black or white. The adjustment is the practical part; the finish lets it belong in the build.
Small parts, a more considered setup
A tour of the supports, fan mounts, tubing clips, and desk accessories in our collection.
Explore a design before you order
How to use our rotating previews, size options, and close-up views, and what to check beyond the render.
Inside the studio
How the work gets made, from models to the website.
From mesh to line
The drawings in our setup guides start as the same 3D models as the previews. Here is how a model becomes a step.

What you are actually looking at when you drag a design on [creations], and why it responds instantly.
A small workshop in New York
The person behind the designs, the machines close to home, and the relationship between our videos and physical work.
From video to design notes
How the channel, workbench, and collection fit together, and how to find the kind of detail you need.
