Case for Internet 

We thank Thingiverse user @MIGUIF for designing an outstanding 3D-printable case for the Odroid-U3, which you can view here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:335537.

Notes 

After playing around with the Intel NUC i3 unit and the Odroid-U3, we decided the Odroid-U3 would power our Internet-enabled 3Dponics system. While both units are great, the Odroid-U3 is more suitable for a few different reasons:

1. The Odroid-U3 is more affordable than the Intel Nuc i3. It costs $65+ (from ODROID), whereas the Intel NUC is $300+. 
2.  The operating system (OS) is free and can run Linux or Android. 
3.  The components—microSD, usb HD cameras and data sensors—are affordable. 
4.  You can 3D print your own case. (Refer to top.)
