Scratch Build – In Progress [Intel NUC Competition]-MiniNUC by Pavel (finished)

My name is Pavel. I want to introduce you to my project miniNUC. Because of the wide range of applications platform NUC projected case should easily fit into any interior (room, office, children's room or a media console in your living room), so I chose the classic materials (wood and aluminum) and a very compact size. The use of solid wood shell will reduce the number of parts to a minimum and system integration will not take long.

Materials and tools

 

The more wooden cases the better Best of luck dude

 

Keenly watching.

 

Like the concept, will be watching this

 

part 1 - wooden body

I used the electric jigsaw and router. with glue and clamps I glued the body.


















using electric router and template cut a hole for ventilation

 

part 2 - aluminum chassis

I used a T-shaped profile to create a chassis for motherboard

 

part 3 - front and back panels

Carved panels of the same shape as the the case. I attached the aluminum plate to the body and processed them cutter.














































Pasted paper template and cut out holes for the connectors of the motherboard.

 

part 4 - painting

I used acrylic paint for the body.

 

part 5 - final

Soldered connectors and struck the inscription on the front panel.
Later add the final image.

 

This look really cool, love the look of Wood on a pc build, good job.

 

Well done man. The way you made the front panel is really neat. Great results too. The case reminds me of of high end HIFI equipment.

 

don't know how i missed this build

have to agree 100%
this looks really good!!!

quick question though;
how did you put the "icons / writing" on the front of the case?

 

I used a heat toner transfer method of making PCBs. such as in the video

 

Well done. I love how you used old mobo risers to fix the plates.
