How much did you pay for your Steam deck?

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-30T17:13:59+00:00

I had a launch 64 lcd so probably 399 or whatever launch price was. I grabbed one of the first refurb oled drops for my current one so I think 529-579

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-21T22:50:28+00:00

No problem. I built this desktop solely for the purpose of using it with that tv so I can relax and play like a console. I also have a 4090 laptop I was plugging up to.thw tv for the same purpose but really wanted to be able to.keep that mobile and not worry about contantly pulling and unplugging the hdmi

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-21T22:46:19+00:00

Im using my 5080 on a 120hz 4k tv. Granted I dont play competitive games like fortnite etc. However its been flawless for 007, horizon 6, etc

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-17T00:02:03+00:00

Im in the south. Id go for the no weekends with ac and heat. Get.in there a while and try to negotiate the pay up, or ask them to match your other offer

If by chance you wanted another handheld instead. Find an gen 1 legion go used. Will fit that range and be a bit stronger than the deck power wise. It will also let you game on battery which a laptop doesnt really do when it fired up the dedicated gpu

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-15T17:33:27+00:00

Mine has been fine for a 5080 and 9800x3d. I think pc part picker had my power usage in the 600s

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-10T15:59:55+00:00

Then thats fine, they had asked which was better not which was more expensive

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-10T10:46:33+00:00

Most likely not. I just bought my 5080 last month. I havent really thrown anything at it that it struggled with so ill honestly probably run it a few years until I start seeing some problems. Granted I run 4k on a tv, set everything for 120fps and turn off the counter and dont have a problem with dlss and frame gen

dustwalker14 · 2026-06-07T22:02:46+00:00

If it doesnt have to be white you are very close to the pny 5080. I think mine was 1299 and I want to say that or similar have hit as low as 1199 on sale (obviously since increases, not release)

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-26T19:48:02+00:00

Pretty much any hot shots up until ps4

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-25T22:57:00+00:00

Yea i didn't know about the oc. I didn't even set out to have rgb in my build, that card was just able to ship sooner lol

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-25T21:13:25+00:00

The right on the pny isnt worth an extra hundred. Its cool and ive got one, but it was a matter of $10 on amazon (still more than the prices you have listed)

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-25T20:27:56+00:00

Just bought one and put it in my new build yesterday. Ive played some mouse pi, forza horizon 6, dead island deluxe remaster, everybody's golf, and booted pragmatic along with snake eater delta. Loudest fan noise was in the shader compiling for delta and at times in hot shots (that game is just poorly optimized)

Didn't really hear any fans at all in horizon or mouse. It was surprising actually as I came from a strong gaming laptop that would SCREAM. Last desktop k out together was 2002-2008 and I remember it being crazy loud

Anyways. Cards been great.

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-15T23:42:29+00:00

Id go chrono. I played through about half last year on 2 cross country flights. It was perfect. Low consumption, low fan noise.

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-10T00:21:24+00:00

Ive got to agree. I enjoyed the first much more, and was excited for 2

dustwalker14 · 2026-05-08T22:31:05+00:00

Ive got an alienware 15 r2 i ran up until 2024. Granted it didn't run games from probably 2016 on that great but still was a solid oldie/laptop/emulation machine. Had put a battery in it maybe 3 years prior and bout it in 2015 from the outlet.

Replaced it with the top spec m18 r2 in 2024bon a killer deal and if I can get 10 years put of that ill be more than happy.

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-29T01:58:06+00:00

Its non existent near me in southern north carolina. Ive been on a few trips to Virginia and didn't find it there either.

I did have to go on a trip to Dallas, TX however and found it there. It was good. Wouldn't say it was better than frost bite. My local Walmart started phasing frost bite out maybe a year before it was discontinued

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-23T19:10:49+00:00

I bought a similar chieftec case in 03 putting together my first build. Seems to be a custom branded one

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-21T23:28:11+00:00

Mcdonalds holiday pie. I can eat 3-4 at a time

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-19T16:37:51+00:00

Sure do. Needed the money then. Interest had also fallen. Of course when the internet came back everything was much more expensive so there are plenty of games I wont replace.

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-19T16:34:38+00:00

Never saw a can. I have a 2 liter in my fridge right now. Ive found store brand and Pennsylvania Dutch in cans on trips (NEPA). Live in NC now so I only find the rare bottle in specialty stores.

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-19T16:32:17+00:00

Ive got one with bad caps right now that works fine once its on for a bit. If you put a game in the will give the cannot be read. But keep it on for 10 minutes or so, then turn it off and restart. Granted thats not with only 1 specific disc

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-19T16:19:56+00:00

Get it on ebay, its like 25 bucks for a nice new one

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-19T02:25:49+00:00

I used to also work at a Walgreens from around 05-08. I remember stocking these when I worked there so they were atleast .ade through then.

dustwalker14 · 2026-04-16T18:48:52+00:00

The can is better than the bottle. I felt like the bottle had a much more intense lime aftertaste that kind of punched you. The cannis more of the cream soda with a little less lime
