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”.

          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.

      Or just get used laptop with destroyed screen for $60. Way better performance than RPI or clones for same price and built-in “UPS”.

        I’ve never thought to look for laptops with broken screens. That’s a pretty good idea.
