Give your graphics card the attention it deserves with this PC vanity mirror!

Have you ever bought a graphics card and thought about how it's placed inside your gaming PC so that you can barely see it? As the proud owner of a custom loop PC, I often do; I often crawl under my desk to look at the underside of the GPU block, and I'm not the only huge geek who does so.

This is because most PC cases are designed with the graphics card facing down and the fan facing the bottom of the case. But all that design effort, from the blower-style shrouds to the liquid cooling blocks, is concentrated on the seldom-seen underside. So what can we do about it?

Let us introduce you to the Graphic Board Mirror from Nagao (featured in TechPowerUp).

Simple and effective, this Graphics Card Mirror is a mirror on an adjustable stand, placed under the GPU at the bottom of the case to shine a happy little fan back at you. made of 2mm acrylic, it measures 280x110mm and is adjustable from 0° with the included stand to 90° with the included stand.

The stand is made of steel and features a magnetic structure for easy installation; please remove the acrylic panel before moving your PC.

You could also build yourself a fairly effective clone. With a couple of trusty Lego bricks, a piece of mirrored acrylic cut to size, and a Blu Tack, it is relatively easy to create a replacement for the real thing.

At this time we have not been able to confirm whether it is available in either the UK or the US, so you may need to befriend an ingenious DIY alternative to satisfy your extreme PC vanity.
