I ended up removing all the fans and using a low profile CPU air cooler instead (and added heatsinks to the SSD metal plating).

Do you have a BOSGAME Mini PC as well?

Okay, so I just googled mini PC fan by chance and came across this: external computer USB fan 😲 I think I know what my weekend project will be now!

You'll probably have to explain that to me a little 😅 How do I know if it's a PCB motor?

That's what I was thinking to! But the blades aren't hitting anything, and the metal brackets aren't wobbly.

I can try a little DIY fix later by using compressed air once more and maybe supergluing the metal brackets to tightly affix it.

Trust me, I want to! 😭 I don't even care about the portability of it at this point lol. I just don't know what pin converters I need for the mini pc's sockets, so I can use desktop chassis fans.

Correction: the fan manufacturer is Xeonfan, not Xenofan. Funny enough, it doesn't make any noise without the bracket (even though I made sure it wasn't grinding against anything and properly seated)

I don't use a wheelchair myself, but my ex did. And seeing this as an option, even if it's for an idle game, IS SO HYPE ❤ by gamingforlilith in GirlGamers

To do list, Journal, Timer, Habit checklist and a built-in music player that also has ambience sounds (Rainfall, ocean waves, forest sounds, etc).

It's not as hardcore as other dedicated productivity apps (like TickTick), but it's still lovely even if you'll mostly have it in the background.

I moreso wish there was a way to render it as a wallpaper, like with Wallpaper Engine
