    I feel like Valve would have been better off designing a new motherboard and discrete GPU design to facilitate cooling and smaller cases.

    Make a new standard and allow any third party to use it.

    They just wanted to make a new GameCube instead.

      Yeah, because everyone agrees the price is too low and more engineering and manufacturing costs are needed to beef it up.

        I’m talking about something that is closer to a true PC ecosystem than the locked-in underpowered overpriced DOA system.

        If the price is going to be exorbitant the system might as well be customizable and not limited to AMD’s trash bin.

            You’re asking me to create the design? I’m not an engineer.

            I can tell you that PCs are generally a mess and are definitely limited by standards set decades ago.

            That’s what Valve should be doing instead of making a $1000 PS4.
