The mod keeps the licensed novelty toaster's original function while adding a full PC, turning a joke product into a dual-purpose device.

YouTuber Jon Bringus of Bringus Studios turned the officially licensed Xbox Series S-shaped toaster into a working gaming PC while keeping the toaster function. He fitted a GEEKOM A9 MAX mini PC into the case, wired the power button to the toast lever, and added an automatic mode switch so the lever only runs the toaster after boot. He played Counter-Strike 2, Halo: The Master Chief Collection, and Forza Horizon 6, with the GPU at 68 degrees and CPU at 71 degrees.
The toaster, on sale since 2024, has a dial and timer and stamps the Xbox Sphere logo onto toast, but it never played games. Bringus placed the mini PC at the bottom of the case because heat rises and the base stays cool. The power button connects to the toast lever, which caused boot problems, so he added a mode switch that lets the lever control only the toaster after the PC starts. He also tested whether toaster heat changed PC temperature and found no effect across several runs.
