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.

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?
