Steam Brick: No screen, no controller, just a power button and a USB port

The author discusses their risky, unapproved project of creating a smaller, lighter version of the Steam Deck called the Steam Brick by removing the built-in controller and screen. They caution that this modification was not endorsed by Valve, may destroy the console, and poses safety risks. The process involved disconnecting peripherals from the motherboard, removing unnecessary parts with a rotary tool, designing a new shell using CAD, and 3D printing it. The end result was a significantly smaller and lighter console. The author humorously justifies the project by referencing a quote from Jurassic Park. They provide resources and an offer to expand on the project if there is interest.
