Log Deskmini x600 USB 4 in modified MSYSTEMS SFFPC Lander 55 case with 1.43" Waveshare AMOLED display

[domka2212]

Hi everyone,

I’d like to introduce my current SFF project based on the MSYSTEMS SFFPC Lander 55 case. The goal of this build was to push a DeskMini-style system into a clean, compact setup while adding some custom functionality.

The system is built around the ASRock X600 USB 4 platform with a Ryzen 8700G APU, 32 GB 5600 RAM and a 1TB WD Black SSD.

One of the main custom parts of the build is the integration of a Waveshare 1.43" AMOLED display. I implemented it using an ESP32, which receives live hardware monitoring data from the PC (CPU, GPU, RAM, temps, etc.) via a Python bridge using LibreHardwareMonitor.

For this, I wrote my own Python application with a small GUI, which handles sensor reading, serial communication, and control of the display behavior. The AMOLED acts as a compact real-time system monitor directly integrated into the case, featuring multiple screens and touch control.

The idea was to keep everything minimalistic while adding useful feedback without needing monitoring software permanently open on the main display.

This is an excellent project @domka2212 ! It is a beautifully integrated mod to the Lander 55 case. I'm looking forward to the details and pictures.

Does the ESP32 connect to the motherboard via the USB header and via the serial protocol?

Is the python bridge flexible with what it gets data from? Can it get data from lm_sensors instead of LibreHardwareMonitor?

Is the python application GUI toolkit agnostic?
