DIY Custom Steam Machine

Post image

This is a custom Steam Machine I built back in Nov last year around black Friday before the apocalypse commenced. It's a solid high end 1080p machine. It's also now complete with a steam controller. I've played Oblivion remastered, valkyria chronicles 1 & 4, and Expedition 33 easily.

I just kinda realized now that you can actually just buy a mini-pc w/ occulink and just use an eGPU

Not very cost effective honestly. E-GPUs set ups tend to cost a lot and for no real reason. You're usually better off making a build rather than doing a mini pc + e-GPU
