    Which translates to you’ll be spending more to build a mid tier pc yourself

      Yeah, it sounds like a lot, but what’s that cost compared to other pre-builts of equivalent spec? With how fucked everything is I’d wager the Steam Machine isn’t insanely priced compared to the other offerings.

        If anything, it’s good to have a mass produced option from Steam. Eventually when I’m priced out of building big badass rigs I’ll look to Steam to provide a plug and play console experience.

        I’m on my dream PC build, and at this point I don’t really care to build another one again. Console simplicity is great now that I can play most things 60-120 fps.

        Especially given that it runs Linux so you are saving a bunch on the operating system

      Yeah, but it won’t have that magic Steam logo.

      How else would LordGabeN afford to buy all those Aston Martins to race around the world.
