Picked this up a while back on a whim and not a big fan.
Bought it simply because I can't get my cab into the basement of my new place and thought it would give me my gaming fix.
Switching to a pedestal/tankstick/hyperspin build.
It's a raspberry pi3 with two wireless controllers.
$150

Curious why you didn't like it, as I am currently considering one of these.

Hmm--I have a full pedestal (woodworking only--no controls)--any interest in doing a trade with cash or something? I can send pics of the setup if you are.

Thanks but I am now system complete.
It is definitely not a "standard" pedestal but gets the job done and keeps the better half happy.
I'll post some pics later tonight.

Lets see those pics, thinking of a pedestal build so always interested in what others have come up with.

Off lease micro pc (i5 with 8gb ram) - $125

Nope, still have it.
You can see it sitting in the cabinet in one of the photos I posted.

I'm interested in it....saves me from having to set one up. I assume it has bluetooth and the usb connections for wired controllers?
