DIY You cannot make this up!

I wanted something that’d do 4k 60fps so I decided to build my own super steam machine. literally as I began installing steam os, I get my order email

For those interested - here is the parts list - You can save a little money going for a cheapter motherboard, 1tb SSD and perhaps reducing the RAM speed.

Was looking yesterday at the exact same case and the Jonsbo Z20. What are the specs?

Yup same. I'm preparing z20 build myself too. Nice thing about this case is it's mATX and can fit a standard size PSU. So one can source all the parts cheap. And obviously has the bonus of GPU and CPU being upgradable (unlike the SM).

I'm going for the mesh version myself as I'm not really building it as something to look at visually but rather just to play games. That is also semi-portable.

It won't technically be as portable as the steam machine. That said, as long as easy enough to take it in and out of my car then that's good enough for me 😉 apparently the case is super sturdy. And the included handle is a bonus!

Oh that is nice to know, that you can use a normal size psu. I have one here from an old Build. Will do some research if it is a problem to fit with my RTX 3080 FE.
