Zac Builds created a hidden mini-PC using a Dreo tower fan, integrating the AtomMan G7 within. The setup improves cooling with airflow reaching 28 feet per second while maintaining a discreet appearance in the living room.
Zac Builds, an enthusiast, designed a custom case to conceal a desktop PC within a living room fan. The project utilizes a Dreo 519S Tower Fan as both a disguise and an effective cooling system for the AtomMan G7 PT mini-PC.
The initial step involved disassembling the mini-PC and creating 3D-printed components for mounting it onto the fan. This included heavy-duty brackets to secure the PC while optimizing airflow, enhancing the overall cooling efficiency of the setup.
Zac's initial design led to air leaks due to gaps in the face plates. The second iteration featured a unified face plate design with vent holes over the heatsink, greatly improving the cooling arrangement for the mini-PC.
The final assembly allows for a discreet setup in the living room, camouflaging the mini-PC well within the fan's housing. Connectivity is achieved through an HDMI cable to the TV, designed to minimize visible wiring while facilitating use.
