Front-room Optimised Unit for Next-level Desktop Recreation & Your Games
Whether you’re diving into the latest AAA releases, revisiting old favourites, streaming films and music, exploring your ever-growing games library or simply enjoying the power of a proper desktop PC from the comfort of your sofa, FOUNDRY delivers next-level entertainment to the big screen.
£1,499.99 (inc VAT)
Serious gaming performance doesn’t need to dominate your living room. FOUNDRY combines the power of modern desktop hardware with a compact footprint that’s equally at home beneath your TV, on your desk or tucked neatly into your entertainment setup.
Unlike traditional consoles and many branded mini PCs, FOUNDRY is built entirely from standard desktop components. Inside the compact Lian Li DAN A3 chassis you’ll find the same class of hardware used in full-sized gaming systems, delivering higher frame rates, faster load times and the performance needed for today’s most demanding games.
Because every major component uses industry-standard parts, you’re never tied to a single generation of hardware. Upgrade your graphics card, add more memory or expand your storage as your needs evolve, without replacing the entire system. The result is a compact gaming machine that offers the convenience of a console alongside the freedom and longevity of a true gaming PC.
Please note, as with TOASTER – we’d like to assure everyone that FOUNDRY’s name was the result of a carefully considered design process and not simply because we thought molten metal was cooler than toast.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately, despite the name, FOUNDRY remains entirely unsuitable for casting iron, forging swords or smelting precious metals.
Despite its modest dimensions, FOUNDRY isn’t built around laptop processors or proprietary components.
You’ll enjoy:
Every component has been selected to deliver smooth gameplay, fast load times and responsive everyday performance. Powered by modern desktop hardware, FOUNDRY offers significantly greater sustained performance than many mini PCs and console alternatives.
The AMD Ryzen 5 8400F provides the processing power required for everything from competitive multiplayer titles to sprawling open-world adventures, while the Radeon RX 9060 XT unlocks high frame rates, ray tracing support and advanced upscaling technologies such as AMD FSR.
FOUNDRY also includes a spacious 2TB SSD as standard, giving you plenty of room for today’s ever-growing game libraries. With many modern titles comfortably exceeding 100GB, generous storage capacity has become essential. Unlike many console-style systems, where larger drives command a premium, FOUNDRY includes 2TB from day one.
Every FOUNDRY includes a wireless Xbox controller as standard, giving you everything you need to get gaming straight out of the box. Comfortable, responsive and instantly familiar, it’s the perfect companion for both Windows and SteamOS gaming.
Designed with living-room gaming in mind, the Xbox controller offers seamless compatibility with thousands of titles across Steam, Xbox Game Pass and many other popular platforms. Whether you’re exploring vast open worlds, competing online or relaxing with friends on the sofa, you’ll enjoy precise controls and a familiar console-style experience.
Built-in Bluetooth connectivity makes pairing quick and simple, while support for additional controllers means local multiplayer is always an option. Combined with the compact design of the system, FOUNDRY delivers all the convenience of a traditional console with the flexibility and performance of a desktop gaming PC.
One of the greatest advantages of a gaming PC is that it evolves with you. While consoles and many compact systems are built around fixed hardware, FOUNDRY uses standard desktop components that can be upgraded and expanded over time.
As new technologies emerge and your gaming needs change, you can improve key areas of the system without replacing the entire machine.
Upgrade options include:
Increase memory capacity for multitasking and demanding applications
This flexibility not only extends the lifespan of your system but also offers far better long-term value than a traditional console. Rather than purchasing an entirely new machine every few years, you can upgrade only the components that matter most.
Combined with powerful desktop hardware and the compact footprint of the DAN A3 chassis, FOUNDRY gives you the best of both worlds: a system that fits almost anywhere while remaining relevant for years to come.
One of the biggest advantages of PC gaming is the sheer size of the library available to you. Unlike a traditional console, which limits you to a single storefront and ecosystem, FOUNDRY gives you access to decades of gaming history across multiple platforms.
Whether you’re jumping into the latest blockbuster release, revisiting a childhood favourite or discovering indie gems, there’s always something new to play. Steam alone offers tens of thousands of titles, from huge AAA adventures and competitive multiplayer games to strategy classics and hidden indie hits.
And it doesn’t stop there. With Windows installed, you can access:
Thanks to support for multiple launchers and storefronts, you’re never locked into a single ecosystem. Your Steam library, Game Pass subscription, free Epic giveaways and treasured classics can all live together on one compact system.
With 2TB of storage included as standard and the freedom to upgrade in the future, FOUNDRY gives you room to build a game library that spans generations — from retro favourites to tomorrow’s biggest releases.
Choose the gaming experience that suits you best. TOASTER is available with either Windows 11 pre-installed or SteamOS pre-installed, so you can get straight into gaming with the operating system that suits the way you play.
Windows 11 offers the ultimate in flexibility, giving you access to virtually every PC gaming platform and application. Enjoy seamless compatibility with Steam, Xbox Game Pass, Epic Games Store, GOG, Battle.net, EA App, Ubisoft Connect, Discord and thousands of productivity applications, making it the ideal choice if you want a powerful gaming PC that can also handle everyday computing.
If you prefer a more console-like experience, choose SteamOS. Designed around controller-first navigation and a streamlined interface, SteamOS boots directly into your gaming library and feels right at home connected to a television. It’s the perfect option for living room gaming, offering the simplicity of a console while still benefiting from the performance, openness and upgradeability of a desktop PC.
Because SteamOS is built on Linux, many Windows games run seamlessly thanks to Valve’s Proton compatibility layer, giving you access to thousands of titles from your Steam library with no additional configuration in most cases.
Whichever route you choose, the underlying hardware remains the same: powerful desktop components, generous storage and the flexibility to customise your system as your needs evolve.
