Seems like a pretty weird idea. Thoughts?

    Sounds dumb, you don’t need the battery, display, game controller or small form factor for a server. Just get a single board computer.

      Id say there’s no harm in playing around to see what happens, but I agree that there’s no practical application to this. At least that I can think of.

      Not the most optimal solution but it is entirely self contained and has a long lasting “UPS”.

        Get a single board computer and an APC for the price of the most specced out Steam Deck.

          You don’t need the most specced out steam Deck though. A refurbished 64GB steam Deck at $320 is an insane deal for the hardware and you likely don’t need more than 64GB for a basic home server.

            True! I was thinking of some media storage but just get an SD card. For $64 GB it is a good deal
