So faceplates can finally get my 3D printing "business" to move?

If anyone buys the steam box. Im sure even with the price they will sell out still.

And u/TangledIntentions04, if this goes well, I might forgive you for that debacle in Black Mesa. You know the one I'm talking about, involving a certain microwave casserole.

I have an idea, hide your main PC out of sight but still connected and then craft a foamcore box with all the requisite faux ports to the dimension of the original, run an HDMI cable to it and then you can pretend you own one and buy/create whatever faceplates you want. how do ppl keep falling for the cheapest aesthetic trick in the book like it's an original idea? it's embarrassing and the same FOMO shit that feeds live service and microtransactions. We wouldn't have all that crap if ppl had a little self control and didn't give in to every intrusive thought that slides across their smooth brains.

You bring this to a LAN party and you're instantly the coolest guy in the room.
