I just found your videos since I had the same idea, and I just wanted to say that you have done some amazing work! Well done!
What would be cool is if you came up with a caddy system so that more computers could be used. A Nuc is great, but having a caddy so that Rock Pi 5b, Banana Pi 5, Raspberry Pi 5 and similar SBC's could be used -and you have single handedly solved portable gaming once and for all (!).
The challenge with devices like the Anbernic 565 and similar, is that they can never be updated. And they quickly cost €300 to €500 depending on model, shipping and import taxes.
Having a shell like your NucDeck can solve this.
It is large enough to handle a Nuc, which means a caddy / carrier where SBCs can be fastened and inserted should be possible.
I truly hope you pursue this, there is a real need for your solution out there. I'm a 51 year coder, and I want a machine that plays everything from Amiga to Ps3. But I am reluctant putting €700 to €1000 into a steamdeck. There has to be a way to recycle SBCs, or use a Nuc like you have done. And then I found your project.
If you come up with some way to put a Rock-Pi 5b in there, or a Raspberry pi 5, then this would be unbeatable. The retro community would love it.
Heck, you might consider producing them. I would much rather pay €400 for your deck, if I can recycle my SBCs.
I hope you think it over. Either way, super impressed by your skills!
