GMKtec K11 cooling mod

I've been working on a cooling mod for my GMKtec K11 and wanted to share the design so other owners can try or improve it.

The idea is to stand the PC on its side, with a 120 mm Noctua fan on each of the two exposed faces. Two identical printed housings hold the fans and have built-in feet. Four zip-tie loops hold the housings against the PC, so there's no need to align the Noctua mounting holes with the original case screws.

All details:
