I was not around when original consoles in this color were released, only found out about it recently and Iâm obsessed! Already own two other things in atomic purple (8BitDo controller and Miyoo Mini Plus)

There was a âgloriousâ 4-5 year span when all new elections were coming in see through plastic casings.
You can see it most prominently today in the original Zoolander when he had one of the old Apple Macintosh machines trying to get the files out of it.

Looks awesome! Why did it take so long??
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
It requires full disassembly, and by full I mean full. Every component has to be unmounted and then remounted again because the front plate is the carrier of all other components. Official video guide I followed (with cuts and perfect execution) is 1.3 hours long.
People usually say it takes them 3+ hours, I took my time and was very careful, took little breaks, double checked everything and landed at around 5.2 hours. No regrets though!

Dream mod for me, so jealous. Congratulations!
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Thanks! Itâs a tough mod, but unlike others saying they regret the struggle, I donât, itâs just so pretty!

Every time you play on the deck itâll be rewarding, since youâll see it every time you use it. Unlike some cosmetic mods.

I see that you, like me, always ends up with a few screws left over đ
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
The reasoning is pretty simple, this kit comes with all the screws deck uses and more, so I was left with tons of extras :)

Same thing happens to me every time I work on a car or a Laptop. As long as nothing rattles itâs just weight savings.

The steam deck color
MonkderZweite@feddit.ch âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Did you replace the fan too?
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Nope, didnât know about this mod actually, is it worth it?

People find the delta fan to have an annoying whine, so if you have that fan you may want to swap it out with a Huaying fan thatâs less whiny.
You can check which fan you have in steam deck settings or by going to store.steampowered.com/account/hardwareused

I think you should kept original D-pad and ABXY buttons, IMO would look better
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
I was perplexed if I should, but now Iâm definitely not going back, they require like 50% disassembly of the device to reach them haha
Witcher@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Excellent choice!
Witcher@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Good Choice!

Looks awesome. I am doing a full button swap with joysticks. Just waiting for the replacement fan (might as well change that) before beginning and super excited to do it.
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Iâve considered getting joystick replacements too but decided against. They are not super hard to replace as they are immediately exposed after taking the back cover off, and while less durable can still last years upon years, none of controllers I used in my entire life ever developed stick drift.
Buttons meanwhile require to take out a lot of stuff, so be prepared and leave enough space on your desk for components. Good luck with mods!

Thanks! I will definitely need the youtube video đ

Looks beautiful.

GBA ultimate. I love the vibes of this, so nostalgic
denast@lemmy.world âš10â© âšmonthsâ© ago
Speaking of GBA, Iâve recently picked up this little guy in the same color! It can emulate anything up to PS1 including, well, GBA.
P.S. Itâs called Miyoo Mini Plus but there is also a whole bunch of competitors in similar price range so picking one of them is a matter of personal choice

Feels good manImage
