Turning e-waste into a game console | BC-250 Steam Machine Tom Paterson 2026-08-30 | My take on a bc-250 Steam Machine. All files for this project will be uploaded to my MakerWorld profile below:makerworld.com/en/@tompattyIf you feel generous enough to help fund my next video then you can do so here: ko-fi.com/tompattyMy overall costs for this were around ~£300, I had a lot of the parts spare the only thing I actual purchased was the board itself and the power supply.I had some audio quality issues as well as my losing a fair bit of footage so salvaging what I can for this video. Should be fixed in my next upload.Thanks for watching and as always any support, critique or engagement is appreciated.
