Low Cost DIY Open Source Gaming Console!

Build a DIY “Steam Machine” gaming console using a $100 ASRock BC250 mining blade (a cut-down PS5-style APU). Small footprint, solid 1080p performance, and fully open-source Linux/SteamOS-ready. In this video I 3D-print a console-style case, install the BC250 + flex PSU, set up Bazzite / SteamOS 3.9, and show real-world gaming performance, temps, and power draw.
