)

Collection: Ideal
Link: Atari VCS™ - Game, Stream, Connect
I bought this because I collect consoles from my youth and my Atari was stolen (long story). It sounded like a good idea at the time to replace my stolen 2800 with this new one. After nearly 4 years of waiting it finally arrived and I am just not that into it any more. I figured I'd use it as a development platform but, again, just not feeling it...
So I am just gonna buy a HDD, install Steam OS on it and turn this console into a Steam Box (since you can boot any OS you have, why not?)... but then I thought to myself "I am trying to sell my MOBO and so far all I am getting is 'Is it still available? WhatsApp me' and then nothing more", so why not try and trade this for an APU and put the mobo to use instead?". If I'm gonna buy an m.2 SSD for the Atari, why not just buy it for my Steam Box instead? Hmmm...
And thus I became curious if anyone would be interested in trading me a decent APU for this...
If anyone WANTS to buy it then I'm not gonna stop them but I am actually more interested in trying to trade this for an AMD 4000 or 5000 series APU. Doesn't really matter to me WHICH APU you have to trade as long as it will work with the AORUS B450 Elite.
So, is this a trade anyone would be interested in making? Terms of the trade:
Bring the APU to Brits where it can be installed at Computer Corporation (at my cost) and if the thing boots up I hand you the console on the spot. (Or you can make the guy's day and let him see what the Atari boot screen looks like by booting THAT right then and there 🤣)
FYI
