Guide to Building Your Own Steam Machine: Zac Builds

Zac Builds is making a DIY Steam Machine-style gaming PC with a Ryzen 5600X and RX 6600 XT.

The build uses a 3D-printed modular case, advanced cooling, and Linux-based software to target strong 4K gaming.

Priced under $1,000, it aims to outperform a typical prebuilt Steam Machine on value, performance, and upgradeability.

The project also works around Linux and SteamOS compatibility limits while keeping access to a Steam library.
