Modder creates compact Steam Brick mini PC by repurposing Steam Deck components

pcworld.com

A modder has created a new mini PC called the "Steam Brick" by stripping down a Steam Deck. The project retains the motherboard, cooling system, and battery, fitting them into a custom 3D-printed case. The Steam Brick measures 7.6 inches by 4.9 inches and weighs just over a pound. It can be used with a wireless controller and portable screen or connected to a monitor via USB-C, functioning like a regular Steam Deck. While the modder acknowledges the limited utility of the design, they provide detailed instructions for others interested in replicating it. This project may inspire companies to explore low-power gaming alternatives.
