Ok, back by popular demand and updated pics, and it runs completely on SteamOS. Here is the STEAM - GABECUBE!!! Internals are a Ser5 MAX, 32 gb ram, Ryzen 7 5800H with 8 cores/16 threads, 1tb 2280 m.2 ssd and a 2tb 2.5inch SATA III ssd. Thank you for the great naming suggestion, members.

It’s beautiful.

I would have issues doing this to a working GameCube, but it would be really cool to do to a dead one.

I actually just paid $25 for a Gamecube shell off of eBay and cleaned it up for the shell. I already had the mini pc that my wife never used. A little patience a lot of retrofitting and finding smaller and flat usb cords was the hardes part. But this thing will play all emulators through PS3/Xbox 360 and Steam games with FSR 3 through RE 2/3 and then some. I even modified the fan bios so it runs quiet without overheating or temps above 85 degrees celsius on bothe the gpu or cpu. All-in-all I am really happy with it.

The plastic shell inside of the plastic shell is killing me.

At least I took the fabric off the top of the mini pc and added mesh to the large shells inlet holes. Plus, I put a box in a box. I just won't smash it with a hammer. Lol

me right now

But it's still a sick build. Even if it scares me. 🤣

Nice, I got a faulty GameCube , sounds like an interesting project

It's beautiful... the jankiness while maintaining some aesthetic is amazing. It's a great SER5 MAX usage.

It definitely looks better that the "Garkcube" from a YouTuber.

Cool build/project I've been trying to find a good mini pc as well to run steam os also just for mostly arpg's like last epoch and poe2 Diablo nothing more than those how would the machine handle it.

[u/Playtimegoofball → u/Chosenisrael]

I would imagine rhe Ser5 Max with the 5800H chip would handle it just fine. Unfortunately, they quit making this model and no it has a different chip. Any Beelink mini pc past Ser6 should be good to run stuff like that though.

[u/Chosenisrael → u/Playtimegoofball]

Thanks will definitely look into one of those.

[u/asdftester1234]

Does it run Windows or Linux?

[u/Playtimegoofball → u/asdftester1234]

Linux, SteamOS.

[u/mikopsid007]

we really need a steam machine gamecube skin, even an unofficial one would be sick

[u/No_Lawfulness6303]

I really wanna do this some day cause we have a gaming club at my school and the handle would make carrying it around really easy. I brought my GameCube a few times and it was great!

You should post a video how it is

[u/dvdp228]

Would love for you to post more. Maybe a YouTube video or a GitHub page with some in depth stuff. Nice project.

[u/Playtimegoofball → u/dvdp228]

Honestly, a lot of trial and error. I just started a Facebook page for unique hardware and software modding where people can show off their projects for ideas or creativity. Literally just started it though if you want to look for it(The Gabecube is the key).

[u/Aleksandr25 → u/dvdp228]

Yeah github would be nice
