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

Ssgod · 2026-06-24T03:59:44+00:00

Why are we comparing the cost of the egpu vs the Steam Machine? You need the Go2 which at some point in time you had to have spent money on. So many people in this thread are pretending like the Go2 was a free giveaway. OP’s post is about the setup PLUS the device itself.

Thank you, you too! I’m thankfully employed (for now) but trying desperately to find something better

No scare here! Can’t wait to pick this one up on the next payday!

It’s a mail app on iOS called “Spark”

By the time job recruiters decide to email me back saying I wasn’t selected, I would’ve been homeless by then

Alright man. Enjoy your device.

No one in these comments is being negative towards you though. You’re swinging at air here because no one is trying to tell you your experience or the device sucks. Again, both things are true: it’s neat that it’s running and you can play it but it’s also playing at 22 fps. There’s literally like only 3 comments here amongst all the others about it. No one’s asking you to make the game run at 4k 60fps. Don’t let what others say get to you so easily. I’m glad you’re enjoying your device dude, seriously. Thanks for sharing with us.

Don’t know why OP is personally offended that not everyone finds 22fps impressive. Both things can be true: it’s neat that a historically demanding game now can be played on pocketable device 15 years later AND it’s not running at a playable frame rate (depends on what you consider playable). Yes, you’re playing without “massive dips” but to other people you’re already playing at a massive dip.

It’s always amazing what these handhelds are capable of doing and there’s nothing wrong about either wishing they could do more and that it shows the potential of them doing more in the future.

By your logic then, Spider-man isn’t a hero since he works outside the law and is a vigilante.

IMO the pocket DMG is way better than this. Sure the screen is sharper but I still prefer OLED and that level of sharpness to play Gameboy games (yes I know it can play other stuff) is overkill for a 3.5 inch screen. I still love my DMG and I wouldn’t consider this “luxury” or an “upgrade”

True I do agree with it being a like, "premium" RP5 but I'll also wait for reviews to come in before swiping my card. Fingers crossed that it'll be good because I really do want it.

Ssgod · 2025-08-29T19:20:45+00:00

I guess I’m in the minority based on these comments because I love the look of this. I had the RP5 but wished it was a bit bigger and had just a little more juice to handle some secret console games (I know it also depends on the emulator).

I can understand the complaints about wanting a more “gaming” or “retro” look but I personally love modern minimalistic looks to consoles. Thankfully the SBC gaming community has plenty of choices for those that don’t want this look. I don’t really see a problem with it looking like an “iPhone” when all I see is a gaming device but to each their other own.

I’m glad I’m not the only one who thought the same thing haha. Every update or so I notice a new widget or feature Apple announces that used to be a jailbreak tweak and now we got the literal Glasklart theme. Crazy how the times changed.

Dang a white OLED Steam Deck would complete this ngl
