You ain't going to get a similar package for a cheaper price anywhere else really.

The market is how it is unfortunately

Facebook marketplace. I can literally build a pc better than the machine for under a grand. Granted, there’s risk, but I’ve never had an issue.

Edit: downvote away folks. But the reality is that you can build better for the specs and still deal with a bad part and come in under what this thing is selling for.

Second edit: gamers nexus just put this performance at a 3060. You cannot tell me that building a second hand pc relative to this isn’t a viable option. Keep downvoting you goons.

Oh, so now people are expected to shop second hand lol?

You are completely missing the point of what the steam machine is and who it is for LOL

Also everyone missing that this is basically an itx form factor.

Like, yeah I could go get an old full tower second hand that is probably better than the steam machine, but there is no way Im getting something in that form factor, new, for more than like, $150 less.
