AMD engineer's 3D-printed Steam Machine alternative, Terk Box v1.1, released

By PulseAugur Editorial · [2 sources] ·

An AMD engineer, Jacob Terkelsen, collaborated with a 3D printing enthusiast, 3DCatt, to create the Terk Box v1.1, a DIY 3D-printed PC case designed to resemble Valve's Steam Machine. The project aims to offer a more accessible alternative to the original Steam Machine, with source files available for others to build. The current iteration features diagonal motherboard mounting and accommodates components like a Mini ITX motherboard and an RTX 5060, with ongoing refinements planned for future versions. AI
