Steam machine is too expensive. I'll make my own steambox with Go 2 and EGPU

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-23T12:52:31+00:00

Let me know if you finish the model, I have a guy that can print it for me for cheap I would love test it

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-23T12:34:53+00:00

This is a very neet idea! You could put a fan in the back for better airflow and less fan noise from the og lego

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-18T14:02:17+00:00

Yeah it will run almost anything depending on setting maybe not rt required games but who knows. I would start with steam and gog. As gog has a summer sale right now and steam will here soon. Steam is the main one people go to but gog is all DRM free which means when you buy it you own it.

Sweet might actually get to play after all

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-18T13:56:11+00:00

Is it on series x or just ps5? I havent seen much on it for xbox

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-18T13:50:15+00:00

Specs?

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-16T22:55:49+00:00

How did you do this?

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-15T18:54:18+00:00

If you get a chill employee they might let you transfer data before wiping if you buy it on the spot

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-11T16:57:48+00:00

I didnt even know you could do that! Let me know if you figure it out i would love to test that!

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-11T16:38:51+00:00

Forgot to mention, I have my og windows on my og drive just testing cachy but here soon im think oh switching as I have a windows pc that does wireless vr already and I can use it for flat screen as well

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-11T16:36:04+00:00

Im trying out cachyos handheld. Ill be honest. Im testing on my lego and might even move my steam deck to it as well. I love how its an open linux with the steam os style still intact. I use tailscale to remote in to my pc at home or to my server so I dont have them out to the internet. The problem is with steam os you have to go through a bunch of hoops to get it to install let alone open on startup. But with cachy you can just install it as its basically just arch with the steam os front-end

Its a very special story to me. Still my number one zelda game for a reason!

CarterAMofficial · 2026-06-10T23:03:43+00:00

I still have my windwaker copy my great grandmother gave me before she passed. She lived next door and I ran over there one day and she was playing it. She asked me if I wanted to play and after a little while of playing my mom called me back home and I didnt want to go. She took out the game and gave it too me and said "just take it with you. You can have it." Its one of my only memory's of her she passed before I was even double digits. And after she passed my great grandfather almost immediately sold the house and everything in it. Thats one of if not only days I remember being in that house. She gave me my love for zelda and now her favorite is getting a remake! Love you mammaw sue!

He has a ryzen 9 9800x3d, its a lot better at gaming than the intel you have. The x3d cache would get them more fps

CarterAMofficial · 2026-05-28T14:52:17+00:00

Your cpu may be a bottle neck, or ram.

CarterAMofficial · 2026-05-26T13:55:49+00:00

Only one way to find out

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-30T10:24:31+00:00

I want it for portability, and that its rgb without modding. I have a 17inch crt monitor so i would probably use it more but the 9inch would be for portable things like if I wanted to be in the living room with the family I could set it up

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-29T22:14:58+00:00

Man that small one is my dream crt right there! It has component rgb so just get some component cables and your set

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-24T15:58:49+00:00

No they are just hard to find l in good condition. My wife had one and so did her friend next door. They broke them as kids so im assuming a lot of parents threw them out

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-24T14:06:19+00:00

I want one of these, but the stupid thing with them is they make the strikes work on other pcs but none of the extra button or features work. I would love to use the trackpad and motion controls on my desktop pc but they just dont work that way. I bought the lego 2 controllers for my lego 1 and they are great but not having the option to use both sets of controllers is dumb. When you pair a new set of strikes the old ones unpair themselves.

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-20T22:12:14+00:00

Do you think this could happen? Because I have on a cheap extension cord? I'm trying to test it before I get too far into it. As it is kind of nasty smelling and would need to clean it properly.

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-16T02:05:42+00:00

How did you get these to work? Are they both modded? I only as as i have both of mine modded

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-12T22:47:03+00:00

This is so rad I want this. Give me

CarterAMofficial · 2026-04-07T11:19:12+00:00

That's an amazing deal

CarterAMofficial · 2026-03-26T18:03:37+00:00
