Living Room PC (Feat. Bazzite OS)

8 parts · $1160.86 estimated · Created Jun 30, 2026

Prime day went Brr... (goal: sell for ~$1600) Even more hand-me-down parts from my G517 upgrades, but it happened to make an insane steam machine. I do enjoy the catered experience and simplicity SteamOS brings to a simple desktop workflow, I don't edit or do any of my engineering work on it. I only game, watch YT/movies, and play music. So having SteamOS on this is an interesting experience, almost gamer+appleOS vibe. some HDMI-CEC WOULD BE NICE...
