There’s the world’s smallest NES console, and then Dan McKenzie’s NucDeck, a handheld gaming PC that you can 3D-print and built at home. Featuring a 7th-generation Intel Core-i5-7260U CPU, Intel Iris Plus Graphics 640, 16GB of DDR4-2133 RAM, custom PCBs, and a 3D-printed housing that all together cost around $370 USD.
This console also features a 7-inch (1024 x 600) touchscreen display, a battery / controller information screen, gyroscopic aiming, RGB joystick surrounds, analog triggers, and a 4s 3,000mAh Li-ion battery. For those interested in creating their own NucDekc, you can check out the Github files here. Just note that there are two different versions of the housing: Standard and NoRGB. The latter version does not include RGB joystick surrounds to simplify printing

Cost to build so far isn’t going to really be relevant to everyone else as I’m on my third set of PCBs and components as I’m prototyping the controller and charge system. The screen and driver board was about $65AUD, I’m using a second hand 7th gen i5 NUC that cost me $200AUD and the batteries are about $50,” said McKenzie.
