I Built A $100 Android Gaming /Emulation PC

In this video, I attempt to build an Android-powered Gaming/Emulation/Media PC for a friend of mine.
I was able to pick up a used Lenovo M800 SFF desktop with 8GG of ram and an i3 6100 CPU for $72 shipped.
Added a 240Gb SSD and USB Wifi/Bluetooth adapters and install Android X86 PrimeOS.
This machine turned out pretty great for Native android games like PubG, Minecraft, Hearthstone and many more and as a bonus, it runs PSP, Sega Saturn, N64 and Gamecube at full speed

I have a feeling I watched this before..

When you spend big $$$$ its not as exciting as when a cheap build performs better than expected!

[TimmyJoePCTech]

I mean, I am not going crazy right? This is a reupload?

Great win10/Android dual boot HTPC right here! I love that this channel focuses on great affordable hardware.

[ALIEN]

I thought I saw this video before...😳 ... Still, good video, thanks for your awesome videos

Your friend is lucky to have a friend like you! Unfortunately, now I'm thinking of building one of these for myself. Most of my Android devices don't have the power to run most of this software, but it looks like this repurposed PC eats all this stuff for breakfast and asks for seconds.

Sweet! By the looks of things, PrimeOS with RetroX should make for a great retrogaming combo! 👍🏼

Hi, im new here and subbed as well, you actually amazed me when i find your channel, i was stuck having a high end pc but unable to play mobile games that i like because of my phone, i did what you did in this vid and im very happy with the results, who knew you could use an android os on a pc

[OttosTheName]

Woah that's a neat setup. Considering how much trouble RPIs have with PSP and N64 emulators and video Streaming at almost €80 (after you add storage, dongle, case, power supply) this is a pretty good alternative!

Actually, there is a way to bypass the fornite requirement thingy. You have to use gl tools and fake the gpu to an adreno 530, I tried fortnite with an overclocked snapdragon 810 and the results were not very favourable. You also have to use magisk, and one hide root access for fortnite and two use the renamed magisk package in the magisk settings. If anyone is wondering, fornite runs between 5 and 20 fps on an overclocked snapdragon 810 (2Ghz across all cores, all cores enabled and 700Mhz on the GPU) at low settings, 1080p 37.5% resolution scale.

So you didnt build anything like the title says you just bought a pc and installed an os...

[Tailzo]

Thank you so much for including Sega Saturn emulation.

[mondoger]

Okok THIS is EXACTLY what I need. But a plug&play machine like this would really help me! Nice video. Thanks

[johnnguyen]

Interesting video, I thought of running Android x86 but then I hear PRIME OS.

Now I’m really interested to try it out.

[dirtyswayze]

I love all the videos and enjoy sharing your channel with friends. So much useful info

[mechamania]

I love that the link to “240GB SSD, ” in the doobleydo, links to _a search for “240GB SSD, ” on Amazon...

_That’s awesome!_ I wish he’d make an instructional video about how to search Amazon (and a follow-up about how to copy-and-paste a URL!)...

[IRWPD]

This is a very cool idea. When they update the computes at my work. Going to see if I can get a few to work on projects like this.
