The base for the game console is an Intel NUC laptop, built into a case in the form factor of the famous chicken wing bucket. However, the developers did not stop there - the set-top box has a built-in working grill for heating food.

Now the computer "equipped with a chicken camera" becomes a real device. KFConsole is essentially an Intel NUC 9 Extreme Element with a modified Cooler Master MasterCase NC100 as well as an Asus RTX graphics card and a 1TB Seagate NVMe SSD. The Intel NUC Compute Unit is available in i5, i7 and i9 variants.
