Sure, you could just buy a Steam Deck, but CNCDan wanted more of a challenge. So, he decided to build his own, and call it the RyzenDeck, powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5700U processor.
Hardware wise, it’s based on a NUC (Next Unit of Computing), which refers to a line of small, yet powerful, computers. In addition to the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U, it also has an 8-inch (1280 x 800) IPS LCD touchscreen, 16GB of RAM, a USB-C port, and a 21,700mAh battery. Unlike other homemade Steam Decks, this one has a CNC machined case rather than one made with a 3D printer.

I’ve watched countless videos of people makin their own steam decks, and with every video, its been a steady and progressive upgrade with each iteration. This is the best video of a self made steam deck project i have seen to date,” said one commenter.
