Top products from r/ShadowPC

I did some digging last night looking for a sub $250 2in1 that would work.

Edit: check out the Chuwi hi13. It's a big boy, but is £250 for a much better CPU, 3k*2k display, USB type C. It will have the power to output that resolution as well. It has the b/g/n/ac wifi, so you'll get a better connection as well. The type c with definitely help with getting an ethernet dongle as well.

Then theres the linx 12x64 that's only z£190 with a better CPU, 4GB of ram, twice the storage and a 1920x1200 display.

Maybe I'm just seeing the wrong prices since I'm in the states, but the linx 1010 on Amazon UK is £249. You have much better options than the 1010, unless you're getting a good deal on the 1010. I honestly would recommend getting something better in the display and i/O department. You're getting access to a comp that can throw 1440p at over 75fps, don't limit it with a bad connection and display.

Oh I got this one! I play WoW (pvp, raiding, ect) and some other light games. Overall it works great!

Here's my setup:

Mouse - Logitech MX Master 2s: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Wireless-Cross-Computer-Control-Graphite/dp/B072RCDN7T/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=logitech+mouse+mx+master+2s&qid=1572889826&sprefix=logitech+mouse+mx&sr=8-4

Keyboard - Logitech k480: https://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Bluetooth-Multi-Device-Keyboard-K480/dp/B00MUTWLW4/ref=mp_s_a_1_30?keywords=wireless+bluetooth+keyboard&qid=1572889945&sprefix=wireless+bluetooth+ke&sr=8-30

Bose soundsport wireless earbuds: https://www.amazon.com/Bose-SoundSport-Wireless-Headphones-Aqua/dp/B01L7PWBRG/ref=mp_s_a_1_8?keywords=bose+bluetooth+headphones&qid=1572890109&sprefix=bose+bluetooth+he&sr=8-8

USBC to HDMI with an HDMI cord. This allows the phone to be played on the tv utilizing Samsung DeX.

It’s not ergonomic enough to sell an iPad product like that en mass. Best bet would be to wait for iOS to update with controller support & mix your Phone with a stand like this:

And an iPad sitting on a normal case-stand

Hi, Found this thread while doing my own research. Thanks for the falling over heads up. It saved me from buying the same one. I did end up finding this on amazon and it looks like it's brand new (no reviews yet) and was designed with that issue in mind). I'll post back when i get it tomorrow and test it at night.

Thanks for the reply. I am going to try it with this pc stick that I own - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M6XULXJ/ref=dp_prsubs_1

I think it is pretty close in specs to your box. It does not do windows at 4k, so I may upgrade it. But I will have to see what it get this this box first.

If I can advice you something to play/look videos in bed it's this. I have two of them and it's close to perfect :-) https://www.amazon.com/Tryone-Gooseneck-Nintendo-Samsung-Overall/dp/B01AUQ33LG/ref=mp_s_a_1_4?keywords=tablet%2Bholder%2Bbed&qid=1554443282&s=gateway&sr=8-4&th=1&psc=1

I use this keyboard https://www.amazon.com/Redragon-KUMARA-Backlit-Mechanical-Keyboard/dp/B019O9BLVY?th=1
Its the Redragon Kumura, it has RGB Lighting and Blue Mechanical Switches. Its definitely worth the $45 price tag, plus it currently has a Lightning Sale on Amazon for Prime Day so its only $35 for the next 3 hours.

Try this :) it should work perfectly

It connects via Bluetooth and shadow will recognise it when you start the app

I use this one, and it seems to work great so far. I bought a separate mount for my phone that clips onto it:

I use an HTPC to access Shadow. Windows seems to be the most stable client IMO. I'd look into getting an Intel Compute Stick or something similar if I didn't already have the HTPC hooked up to the TV. The Nvidia Shield is also pretty great for everything else but I don't like it for Shadow.

So my gaming desktop but keep my Asus ROG. Perfect with the Ghost!

I have heard that people trying it had to plug into different USB ports to find one that worked. Make sure it is a usb c 3.0 or above. Most C cables out in the wild are not. Here is one that oculus recommends. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01A6F3WHG/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_Lwh1DbGJ6AQNF

Overkill. :P I use a GPD XD+ with a bluetooth mouse and keyboard.

(For when I need them anyways, the XD+ comes with a gamepad built in that'll work for most games.)

which one? I'm not only considering gaming mice as I would also be using this mouse for work productivity as that's what I use my Mac for

Edit: Is this the one you mean? https://smile.amazon.com/Microsoft-7N5-00001-Designer-Bluetooth-Mouse/dp/B00S0CTU2Y?sa-no-redirect=1

SteelSeries Stratus XL Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller for iOS Devices(69026) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00QTSR5GO/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_iNLPBbDT3KVZ4

>DDR4 still costs a lot

16gb of performance RAM can be had for as little as $100

>you need to buy an SSD, HDD, the PSU, all the other items

A 500gb SSD (almost twice the storage of shadow) can be had for $50 and a PSU can literally be as cheap as you're willing to risk paying

Add in a $130 dollar Ryzen Processor, a cheap PC case and Motherboard and you've got an entirely better System (sans the GPU) for a grand total of $450. With the massive price drops of GPUs coming this month, you can add one of your choice and have it all for $800- $900, and that's all brand new hardware. If you were to buy used, you could build for hundreds less.
So no, you're wrong. It's not anywhere near $2000. Not even by half.

There are a few. I have a few of these:

IIRC, the Ethernet is only 100Mbit but should be more than enough for Shadow. I haven’t tried it but the fact you can pick a bitrate, you should have no issue.
