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)
Awhat's wrong with the HX99G? it seems like it'd be a great HTPC overall
Aand wow, didn't realize that the HX99G is now down to $599 USD. that's approaching PS5 pricing
DT_T i paid almost 1000 bucks for mine, pain
A$599 is barebones, no RAM or SSD
Aso not quite a PS5 alternative yet
Dwell 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
Abut I think DIY consoles will become very big if SteamOS ever gets an official release
Di also need a good excuse to make a new build around the fractal ridge case
KTotally agree, if you can slap it on a cheap mini-pc with a decent Ryzen APU and get good performance, 100% will happen
A6900HX mini PCs can be found right now for $300-400 USD or so, perfect candidate for a 1080p gaming HTPC
Dwell... idk, considering that i bought a 100 dollar SSD for it, that drove the price up for me
KYikes that's way too much
Di'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
Dthe HDMI ports are 2.1 btw, they just don't advertise it for some reason
KFIREBAT Mini Gaming PC AMD Ryzen 7 7735HS(8C/16T, up to 4.75Ghz) Mini PC 16GB DDR5 512GB SSD Mini Computers, 4K Triple Display Mini Desktop BT5.2/WiFi 6/USB4/Dual Lan1G 2.5G RJ45
K$399 USD
Keven if I upgrade RAM and SSD, still cheaper.
Dyea 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
DUSB4 is nice, i think that gives you options for an eGPU, no?
KIf you're buying a mini PC + egpu dock + GPU... just build a desktop, but yes it is possible
AIf 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
MINISFORUM Mini PC UM690S AMD Ryzen 9 6900HX Mini Desktop Computer AMD Radeon 680M 32GB RAM 1TB PCIe SSD, 2 x HDMI Ports, 1x USB4 Port, 1 x USB Type-C, 4 x USB 3.2 Type A, Wifi6, BT5.2 for Home/Office
Dand its why im looking at the fractal design ridge 
D1080p is great, but native 4k is better
Di think i can get away with slapping an XTX card on it, plenty of room for one
AModel:S300 Chassis color: white Chassis material: SPCC steel + aluminum alloy Hard disk position: 2.5' SSD×1, 3.5' HDD×1 (graphics card length less than 180mm) Motherboard support: ITX PCI expansion slot: 2.5 I/O interface: POWER, USB 3.0 × 1, TYPE-C Power support: SFX/SFX-L CPU cooling: 60mm hei...
Doh yea! coworker showed me a build with that one
Di do have a spare NR200 in my closet, but idk if i have all the screws for it
KI had a 5600G and 6700XT system for a while myself
Ain terms of volume, my HTPC feels smaller than a PS5
Ksadly I didn' tknow that case was an option at the time
KI'd so have used one
AI 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
Aso I basically paid close to the price of a PS5 for my HTPC
Aotherwise I probably would've just ended up with a minisforum HTPC
Dim 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
Das far as i can tell generally people are happy with it, im looking at mine thinking its not a good product
Qsold the 1080?
Anope, my brother ended up wanting to give it to his friend since I didn't want it
Qoh
Aside note, Bazzite got a few very short mentions in the recent Digital Foundry podcast: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zQz8ZQBJSQ0
YouTubeDigital Foundry
On the eve of release, the team ponder the dearth of Black Myth: Wukong PS5 reviews - and then some last-minute footage emerges. Will Judd joins the team to discuss the latest AMD Zen 5 problems, more rumours of Xbox exclusives coming to PlayStation 5, while The Verge bravely talk about the game nobody's supposed to be talking about but everyone...
Abasically it was just mentioned as an alternative to SteamOS in the discussion
J@Kyle Gospo did we start reporting as "Bazzite 40"? I noticed it jumped up past "Bazzite"
KNope, unless they do some very strange parsing of the pretty name
VWhat's this?
JVOh neat!
MNo, unfortunately never figured it out, I just restarted and it went away
QS300 gang
LThe V3?
Tcan anyone help i installed bazzite yesterday but cant find my headphones through my wired xbox series controller
