    It definitely costs $100 or so more than commodity parts with equal performance. However, if you care about the form factor or the HDMI CEC it’s impossible to do better.

    I run Steam on Kubuntu on a mini-ITX PC, but it’s 6"x10"x13" instead of 6"x6"x6". It’s also much better spec’d than the Steam Machine (5700X3D, 64GB RAM, 9070XT) and probably cost less than at least the 2TB version of it, but I built it before prices went crazy.
