Nvidia silently stopped manufacturing a while back. They still advertise it though for some reason. When they stopped making it it was speculated that they were gonna update it possibly with a x1 chip but if never happened.

damn, I really wanted one of those, I guess I'll have to make a makeshift one lol

ehhhh, I don't like buying used items from ebay, I always find ebay really sketchy.

it is, but if it doesn't work it's my fault, and not some random guy on ebay.

Yeah I get what you're saying. Check Craigslist because that way you can see it in person to make sure it works. What exactly do you want in the device? The streaming or the android games?

Intel computer stick, portable monitor, and a custom case. I know it isn't a shield portable, but it's close enough for me.

Or get a Samsung phone and an Xbox controller, and get a handle that connects them. Download some software on the Samsung and boom game stream. Linus even did it himself.

Oh that's an interesting idea. For streaming or native games? Note that the compute stick isn't very powerful. Personally I would go raspberry pi. The raspberry pi 3 is pretty powerful and has WiFi. Combine that with a cool case design possibly like Ben Heck's and it would be a really cool system. But it all depends on what you're using it for.

I would probably use it for streaming, but because it has decent specifications, I could probably use it for a little bit of native gaming, and HD video playback/streaming.
