Akitio Node Laptop Mount

thingiverse

As you know, Akitio Node is a great eGPU box. It even can take in an extra full-sized GPUs or GPUs with water cooling. The drawback is that it is very tall, big and desk surface consuming. I came up with a solution is to turn it into a laptop cooling pad, by doing that, the laptop screen is high enough to a sweet point that you can avoid neck problem and also clear the air underneath the laptop by the GPU inside the enclosure itself. In order to do this mod, we need to lie the enclosure down, make sure you stick some pads to the bottom side as we need to leave some air for the PSU to breath, and also avoiding scratch. The screws were used are regular M3.
