I just found my Dell mini 10 case has a perfect shape. Then I decide to made a fan cooling laptop stand for my mini 10. You know, there is no fan inside this Dell product.

1. Cut a hole in center of case cover.
2. Cut a hole in center of case base.
( The holes size are easy to be measured. Hole size = Dell logo size )

3. I have a good fan from a bad Dell desktop power supply. And I connect a USB switcher on it.

4. Use screw driver drill two ( or four ) holes around the big hole in case base, in order to lock the fan.

5. Put the fan in base. Tighten fan by screws.

Finished!

Finished!
Now enjoy your new laptop stand.
It also could work with your 10' - 15' laptop.
Remember, it is a paper stand. Maybe 17' laptop is too heavy to use. Or you can add enhanced ribs inside it.
