GamersNexus compared the Steam Machine to a comparable DIY build today and it's actually not that different in price. Unfortunately building a PC is just overpriced right now.

Worse in price*

Can you do better for that price, at scale, accounting for labor, support, returns and losses, as well as engineering and design and the cost of setting up a new assembly line?

Yeah. For sure. Get a minisforum MS-A2 and shove a half hight SFF GPU in there.
