Hey folks,
I’m a gamer who's been 3D printing on the side and started designing accessory kits that stick to your PC case using magnets or suction cups. These are meant to help clean up your setup, add some functionality, or just make it feel more personalized.
Each one attaches to the side or front of your case (metal or glass), and I'm working on different modular designs like:
  • USB stick trays so your flash drives aren't lost in a drawer
  • External SSD holders with built-in cable guides
  • Headphone hangers that won't fall off
  • Game case holders, phone stands, and even some fun stuff like a magnetic back scratcher for long sessions
Everything is modular so you can mix and match based on what you need, and it doesn’t require any screws or adhesives.
I’m still early in the process and would love to hear from the community. What kind of accessories or mounts do you wish you had for your setup? Anything you've tried that didn’t quite work?
Appreciate any feedback or ideas, even if it's just a “that would be sick” or “I hate magnets.”

Here's an idea..

Magnetic cover for case IO. For example, Lian Li V3000+ has power/reset button on the top of the case. My cats like to jump up and will step on the power button. Nothing like gaming and suddenly seeing "Shutting Down"..

How ‘bout an upside down saucer Over the button? That’s assuming the thing sticks out. If it doesn’t you can use something like a book
