Given the current price and market for 2013 Mac Pros, I decided to pick one up for around $200, mostly as a cosmetic item but when adding OpenCore and Sequoia i was surprised how usable it is. I have the 2xD700 model with notorious overheating issues and poor thermals. The heat out of the top is intense. So I ended up creating my first 3d model for a base stand that provides a friction fit for a 120mm usb fan (I used this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06Y5WWBHH?tag=kaylamade-20)

IMPORTANT!!! GET A BOOST IF YOU'RE THE BEST!
We have gotten some pretty good models into the collection, and I have some extra boosts in hand, so I am going to put them to good use.
If you have a model that you want to get promoted, and it fits the simple criteria, then you can go for the collection and double boost. Just post a link to your model with tag #Buriedtreasure
The criteria are:
* Your model must be 2 weeks old or older.
* Your model must not have more than 40 downloads, 20 prints, or 7 boosts.
* Your model must actually be good quality. I am not referring to some random fridge magnet or Hueforge.
* And I do not guarantee that I will put every model that you post in the collection. No hard feelings, but I am only going to put a model in if I deem that it is worthy of a try, and it is a good model.
And, starting now, I am going to choose the best and second best out of the next 17 people that enter, and, in addition to adding them to the collection, I will give a double reward:
THE BEST MODEL WILL GET 2 BOOSTS!
THE SECOND BEST WILL GET 1 BOOST!
And any other good models will still get added to the collection!
Who got in, who got boosted, and who didn't, will be announced when 17 people have posted their models. If a model does not fit the criteria, it will not count as part of the 17.
