Your NUC is making a hell of a racket? Go passive!

The cooling of the Intel NUCs is in my eyes THE weakness of these little computers, which are also very well done and efficient enough to act as a media center for your beautiful TV in the living room. Not only does it make a turbine noise (especially with an i7 which tends to heat up), but in addition, the air intake/radiator clogs quickly. One solution: Passive cooling.
I found the ideal case, the manipulation only takes half an hour maximum.
Result: No more noise and monitoring, a minimum temperature of 40° (before it was around 60°) and maximum temperatures that do not exceed 80° (Sometimes 100° before).
(The camera shit a little Smartphone at 200 balls, there are none of the defects that we see on the case)

A small defect: The mini SD card slot is no longer accessible.
Personally, I don't care, I don't have a mini SD card and I had forgotten about the existence of said slot.
