The "$60 Gaming PC" – AMD BC-250 (2025)
Points and comments are a snapshot, not live.
A $60-$100 PS5 APU mining card becomes a playable Cyberpunk 2077 gaming PC with mods.
The AMD BC-250 is a repurposed crypto-mining board using a cut-down PS5 APU (6 Zen 2 cores, 24 RDNA 2 CUs, 16 GB GDDR6). With a custom BIOS, 3D-printed case, and Linux, it runs Cyberpunk 2077 at playable framerates. The author provides a GitHub how-to guide for hardware and firmware modifications, including flash unlock and cooling changes.
What commenters are saying
Commenters report the board now costs $150-$300+, up from $60 due to demand. Builders confirm it requires a PSU, NVMe, fan, adapter, and case, totaling ~$300. One user runs Bazzite Linux booting to Steam Big Picture, achieving performance similar to an RX 6700XT or PS5, and notes ~80W idle draw. Cases sold as complete systems on eBay are flagged as scams not including the board.
