A 9-liter DIY Steam Machine build uses the Thorzone Tetra S case with an all-AMD setup: Ryzen 9800 X3D and Radeon 9070 XT Reaper.
The build focuses on careful assembly, cable management, cooling, and undervolting to keep the tiny system running well.
Linux gaming is a key part of the story, with Proton, Basite, and CachyOS helping improve compatibility.
