A Badly Crushed Galaxy S23 Becomes a Gaming PC with External Cooling and SSD
LastComputer turned a badly damaged Samsung Galaxy S23 into a desktop gaming computer. The build combines the phone's mainboard with a 512 GB SSD, USB hubs including HDMI output, and an added cooling fan.
The creator straightened the bent frame with a hammer and installed a replacement battery. A heatsink and fan lowered temperatures by about seven degrees Celsius compared with the phone's original cooling setup. Samsung DeX provides the desktop environment, with PS2 emulation and other games demonstrated.

The phone looks beyond saving as a phone, but a hammer, fan and SSD give it a second career as a gaming PC.
