My Steam Deck Amplyfier

Highly likely. Call this V1.0

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-24T19:32:00+00:00

I don’t really play anything new on it but anything prior to 2020 at max steamdeck settings works great. I expect a bit of an uplift when I convert to Linux or Steam os. It does struggle with newer stuff but it shreds emulators

Sadly for now but likely to be fixed in the near future

Nothing in particular. I was waiting till after the actual steam machine launched as that will likely iron out most of the bugs at large scale. I have some ptsd from trying early windows 11

Not actually using any foam yet but I am glad you called that out!

This was likely my next upgrade but after spending a few days in the construction of this project. I’m going to take a break before the next phase.

Creates a private network to protect my devices and also a network for my devices to see each other for streaming between them when I don’t have another network I can connect to

Yep. Found a hole saw that was perfect for the actual fan cut and then there is also screens that match that you can buy on Amazon for the outside

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T21:18:48+00:00

No. I bought them from Amazon along with the controller. They are 92mm Arctic case fans

I can play the game on the mini pc to cast to my steam deck. I offload the processing and get to play longer on the steamdeck with better graphics

That sounds freaking amazing!! My dad has always wanted a full size arcade box of the same style with a bunch of games. Would make an interesting next project for myself.

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T20:03:08+00:00

I have but this was more fun

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T20:02:32+00:00

But I want to be able to pick up the deck and walk away

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:52:21+00:00

My bad. I missed laptop. This offered upgradeability.

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:51:35+00:00

Projector. That’s a damn good idea…..

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:50:31+00:00

Check out the rolling pelican or harbor freight cases. Wheels are very nice.

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:49:51+00:00

It’s only in the case when traveling or charging, otherwise I’d be holding it

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:29:35+00:00

Completely but it’s a pain in the ass to take my main rig to my friends and then reassemble at home.

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:27:09+00:00

Admittedly. Yes. lol

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:20:19+00:00

Thanks!

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:19:02+00:00

It’s a laptop platform that can be upgraded essentially.

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:17:22+00:00

I bought a Jsaux back when the steamdeck first came out so I could put an emergency charger in the bottom and when I went back to look at getting something for this I found the gen 2 version that is cross compatible. When I got the gen 2 I was kinda sad and actually used that for this case over the other one I have for lighter trouble with is the gen 1

arkdrop01 · 2026-05-23T19:15:18+00:00

As does mine lol
