• Nice.

    I just bought one of those used ASRock BC-250 crypto mining boards to use a a DIY SteamMachine, and apparently they’re basically the same hardware that’s in a PS5. Probably going to run either SteamOS or Bazzite on it.

    • You have any benchmark stats for those boards? Really curious to see how that APU stacks up against other various budget gaming setups.

      • I ordered it and a power supply for it yesterday so don’t have it on hand yet.

        I read about it here: https://www.techeblog.com/budget-steam-machine-asrock-bc-250-ps5-apu/

        And there’s a video on that page where the guy has stats overlay up as he goes through various games. The FPS even on modern games is pretty respectable. I don’t have any kind of gaming system or modern console (X360 is the newest gaming system I own) so as long as I can play what’s in my Steam library I’m content.

          What did you pay for it?

          I’ve seen them go from dirt cheap to pretty expensive
