AOOSTAR's GODY mini PC undercuts the Steam Machine with a Ryzen 9 CPU and RX 7600 XT GPU for $849, but there's a big catch: it doesn't have RAM.

    I think it’s pretty reasonable. I just wish they’d gone a little more aggressive for their performance goals.

    Everything else, from the clean design, open specs, etc. is great.

      Same. They have their CPU and GPU power limited to keep the temps (subsequent fan noise) down. If they put in a more powerful PSU in and let the fans ramp up it’d do significantly better in benchmarks

        I have a worse desktop (overclocked R5 2600 and RX 7600) and it generally performs fine. Some CPU-heavy settings have to be turned down in some games, but it manages medium-high at native 1080p for everything I’ve tried. White room benchmarks aren’t everything.
