i may just ditch the HX99G actually, and build a brand new console PC (what I should have done, but was lazy and wanted easy HTPC)

Aru•8/18/24, 11:22 PM

what's wrong with the HX99G? it seems like it'd be a great HTPC overall

Aru•8/18/24, 11:23 PM

and wow, didn't realize that the HX99G is now down to $599 USD. that's approaching PS5 pricing

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:24 PM

T_T i paid almost 1000 bucks for mine, pain

DDevilFish303 T_T i paid almost 1000 bucks for mine, pain

Aru•8/18/24, 11:24 PM

$599 is barebones, no RAM or SSD

Aru•8/18/24, 11:24 PM

so not quite a PS5 alternative yet

AAru what's wrong with the HX99G? it seems like it'd be a great HTPC overall

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:25 PM

well besides crashing issues, and coming with a faulty SSD, i am super distrustful about the PSU, and overall build quality is cheap, and with the recent gamescope crashing i can't help but think its not an OS problem but a hardware problem

Aru•8/18/24, 11:25 PM

but I think DIY consoles will become very big if SteamOS ever gets an official release

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:26 PM

i also need a good excuse to make a new build around the fractal ridge case

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:27 PM

Totally agree, if you can slap it on a cheap mini-pc with a decent Ryzen APU and get good performance, 100% will happen

Aru•8/18/24, 11:27 PM

6900HX mini PCs can be found right now for $300-400 USD or so, perfect candidate for a 1080p gaming HTPC

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:29 PM

well... idk, considering that i bought a 100 dollar SSD for it, that drove the price up for me

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:29 PM

Yikes that's way too much

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:30 PM

i've been using this box for 1080p@120fps gaming on my sony X90L, the upscaling on the sony tv's is amazing, almost does not look like 1080p unless you really sit up close and see its slightly blurry

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:30 PM

the HDMI ports are 2.1 btw, they just don't advertise it for some reason

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:30 PM

I'd get this instead - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CLRC5BCR

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:31 PM

$399 USD

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:32 PM

even if I upgrade RAM and SSD, still cheaper.

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:32 PM

yea i think the HX99G has going for is its dGPU, its just a frankensteined laptop when you think about it, it probably did not cost minisforum that much though

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:33 PM

USB4 is nice, i think that gives you options for an eGPU, no?

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:34 PM

If you're buying a mini PC + egpu dock + GPU... just build a desktop, but yes it is possible

Aru•8/18/24, 11:34 PM

If I hadn't already repurposed my gaming desktop into an HTPC, I'd go for something like this: https://www.amazon.com/MINISFORUM-UM690-6900HX-Threads-Bluetooth5-2/dp/B0BRN8ND1S

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:35 PM

and its why im looking at the fractal design ridge

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:35 PM

1080p is great, but native 4k is better

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:35 PM

i think i can get away with slapping an XTX card on it, plenty of room for one

Aru•8/18/24, 11:35 PM

oh yea! coworker showed me a build with that one

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:36 PM

AAru i'm using this tiny 8L case with a 5600x and 6700XT https://www.amazon.com/gp/pr...

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:36 PM

I had a 5600G and 6700XT system for a while myself

Aru•8/18/24, 11:36 PM

in terms of volume, my HTPC feels smaller than a PS5

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:36 PM

sadly I didn' tknow that case was an option at the time

Kamquat•8/18/24, 11:36 PM

I'd so have used one

Aru•8/18/24, 11:38 PM

I actually got really lucky with my HTPC build. My brother was basically getting rid of his 5600x + GTX1080, and gave it to me for free. so all I had to do was transplant it into the smaller case + pick up an AMD GPU + a power supply that fits

Aru•8/18/24, 11:39 PM

so I basically paid close to the price of a PS5 for my HTPC

Aru•8/18/24, 11:39 PM

otherwise I probably would've just ended up with a minisforum HTPC

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:40 PM

im interested to know what the statistics are for minisforum buyers, how long ago they bought a PC, which one, and whether or not it still works or has been replaced

DevilFish303OP•8/18/24, 11:41 PM

as far as i can tell generally people are happy with it, im looking at mine thinking its not a good product

AAru I actually got really lucky with my HTPC build. My brother was basically getting...

q.•8/18/24, 11:41 PM

Qq.sold the 1080?

Aru•8/18/24, 11:42 PM

nope, my brother ended up wanting to give it to his friend since I didn't want it
