Never realised that quite a few third party mods for the deck are available - such as a transparent chassis, colourful buttons, and even an aftermarket APU cooler.
Linus pretty much pimps the heck out of the refurbished deck in this video.
The main downsides shown (aside from the difficult chassis swap) were the aftermarket chassis joystick tolerances being a bit tight, and the new HD screen increasing system power consumption by at least 10W - while also bringing a noticeable performance penalty, with ~37 FPS on the HD screen vs 60 FPS on the standard deck screen when playing F1
Is that why this is being downvoted? I’ve heard of Linus for years in my Reddit days but never actually watched or listened to anything he did. I thought people liked him? Maybe not anymore lol
Edit : Thanks for the info. Glad I have no reason to give him any further thought. While I never expected him to be like that it doesn’t surprise me lol
