Mobile Qube 540 Battlestation (or Workstation) Mods

Turn your Coolermaster Qube PC into a portable battlestation! (Or workstation) Avoid forgetting anything you need for your next LAN party by mounting everything directly to your PC. This collection of models includes two different Vesa mount options, three different size arms for a folding keyboard mount, a mouse holder, and mounts for surge protectors/power strips. You'll find more details about each of the models below!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vesa Mounts

See the included assembly PDF (AssemblyDirectionsQubeVesaMount) for full details on assembly and mounting of the Vesa mount options. There are two different choices for mounting your monitor to your Qube case: a flush mount where the Vesa mount sits as close to the case as possible, and a pivot mount that allows you to adjust you mount angle.

These Vesa mount designs use my Coolermaster Qube M4 Bolt Mounting Bracket design. The original brackets provided by Coolermaster were rated at 2 kg, but by adding an M4 bolt to the mounting brackets and distributing the weight of the monitor over 3 different attachment points this system should hold most lightweight monitors. 

For just the Vesa Mounts click here.

Parts Needed

For both options you will need:

• 3x printed M4ScrewMount_Back_V1 parts
• 3x M4x12 screws
• 3x M4 nuts

For the FlushMount design you will also need:

• A printed Vesa_FlushMount_M4ScrewMount

For the PivotMount design you will also need:

• A printed Vesa_PivotMount_Bracket_M4ScrewMount part
• A printed Vesa_PivotMount_M4ScrewMount part
• A M4x30 screw
• An additional M4 nut

It is recommended that you print the Vesa mount with PETG or ABS for added strength.

Fold-up Keyboard Mount

See the included assembly PDF (AssemblyDirectionsQubeKeyboardMount) for full details on assembly and mounting of the fold-up keyboard mount options. Three different sizes are included for the fold up keyboard mount: 100mm, 140mm, and 200mm to accommodate different sized keyboards. You'll need 2 complete mount arms for holding your board. These can then be folded up to hold your keyboard when not in use, such as for transport to your next LAN party!

Parts Needed

For all arm sizes you will need:

• 2x printed FoldingKeyboardTray_Mount parts
• 2x M4x16 screws
• 2x M4 nuts

Depending on the size of your keyboard you will need two of the folding arms:

• 2x printed FoldingKeyboardTray_100mm parts

          OR

• 2x printed FoldingKeyboardTray_140mm parts

          OR

• 2x printed FoldingKeyboardTray_200mm parts

Mouse Holder

The mouse holder is like a cup holder, but for your mouse! For this model you will need to print the 3D-printing-base-hook-mount-v1 part from the Qube 540 Full PC Case STEP Model & 3D Printing Base Files page (although it is also included in the files below). Then simply glue the hook mount to the back of Mouse Holder part (there is an inset for the hook mount).

Parts Needed

• A printed MouseHolder part
• A 3D-printing-base-hook-mount-v1 part from Qube 540 Full PC Case STEP Model & 3D Printing Base Files
• Glue

Power Strip/Surge Protector Mounts

What is the worst part of a LAN party? If you said getting stomped by your friends, you are right, but I would have also accepted cable management. So why not mount a surge protector onto your case to only need to plug in one device instead of multiple?

You can use this basic mounting bracket to hold a USA surge protector on the back, top, or side your your mobile 540 case to power all of the accessories you are now mounting to the case.

Parts Needed

• 2x printed PowerStripMount parts
