Part of our coverage of Mini PCs here at Tom's Hardware often includes fanless PCs— but rarely ones as custom as this build from Reddit user TheJiral, which features a suitably beefy heatsink and an external SSD enclosure running over two USB 4 ports. The heart of this build is the ASRock Industrial Box-7640U Mini PC, which previously used a fanless cooler with a much smaller heatsink. The replacement heatsink, which can be seen as the tallest point of the new build, is the Wakefield-Vette PADLED-13080, which TheJiral acquired from DigiKey.
The build saw the original case being replaced with a 3D printed case, one with vents to the side and lovely use of threaded inserts instead of self tapping screws. We're not sure what 3D printer was used, but it looks like an FDM (Fused Deposition Modeling) printer was used, perhaps one of the best 3D printers from our list.
