Enthusiast hides gaming PC inside living room fan using 3D-printed parts — disassembled AtomMan G7 cooled by Dreo tower fan that shifts air at 28 feet per second

Dreo Smart Tower Fan 519S.

Creator Zac Builds wanted to hide a desktop PC in plain sight in their living room setup. But instead of just placing a discrete mini-PC behind their TV, they decided to build a custom case that allows them to mount it on their living room fan. They shared the project on their Facebook page, where they started with a Dreo 519S Tower Fan as the base of the unit. Aside from serving as the perfect hiding spot for the computer, the setup also served a secondary purpose by adding more air cooling to the system. At its maximum setting, the Dreo 519S can hit wind speeds of 28 feet per second, which is more than enough to help keep the mini-PC’s fans slow and keep the system’s temperature in check.
