While I wait on GPD to ship mine, would love to see some of the hacks tips and tricks others have made to their MicroPC. 3d printed a carrier to connect to the bottom? Link it. Got directions on editing your grub menu to show a background image? Ditto.

I’ve protected my serial port with a F/F slim adapter. They’re made by [StarTech.com](http://StarTech.com) and available on Amazon.

Sorry, I should’ve thought to include the link:  
[https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00066HOXO/](https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00066HOXO/)

Amazon doesn’t currently sell any directly, but they do have one that is fulfilled by them, if that matters.

Here’s the link to [StarTech.com](http://StarTech.com) directly:
