This project aims to create a cyber-style case for the Intel NUC11, with improved cooling functionality. It’s recommended only for those with a spare NUC or one purchased second-hand. The design utilizes FPV hardware, an M3 hardware kit (including 35mm stack screws and bolts), and four 35mm standoffs to hold everything together. The computer is mounted on soft vibration-dampening gummies similar to a flight stack.

For control, an STM32F1 or Arduino Nano can be used to run the code, while an external BEC powers the fan from the input voltage (ensure a 2-position switch is added to avoid wiring issues). An outdoor light and temperature sensor can be added, displaying pixel art from Wokwi that corresponds to environmental conditions. Additional components required include external Wi-Fi antennas, a digital temperature sensor, a light sensor, an OLED screen, LEDs, 330-ohm resistors, and a modified USB cable to supply 5V to the microcontroller and sensors.

The CPU cooler needs to have a variable X-bracket that can be split and mounted on top of the CPU block to avoid interference with other components. This setup may require a redesign to accommodate modern CPU heat sinks.

The included code is an unfinished version with the correct libraries and the boot-up animation used for this project. The animation plays during boot-up and then displays a single frame from Wokwi, corresponding to the temperature and light readings. If all animations are used, a microcontroller with more storage will be required. Temperature data and text are also overlaid on the display.

This project is a work in progress and should be considered a "fixer-upper".

Parts I used: STM32F103C8 Flasher for stm32f1 chip oled Temp sensor

I might also add some vertical antenna mounts. Best of luck if anyone try's to make this.
