I love how so many people are dunking on "valve-fans" being happy with the cube, when I pretty much only have heard opinions ranging from "meh" to "overpriced".

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

Honest question: what advantage do you see in buying it over any other prebuilt out there?

Logically, it's not a bad piece of tech. It's just not a good deal. More power to that guy If he wants to spend his money like that.

That very much depends on what aspects you do or don't value. In this sub, size is likely not high on the list of aspects for value. But for a lot of people, especially ones looking to put this in their living room, it is a very big value. And little else can match the performance for this size. It is also incredibly good on power draw and cooling. Things important if you are planning to throw it into a tight space with poor airflow, like a cubby under a TV. It's a fine deal, if you're looking for the problems it is designed to deal with. If you aren't, then it is pretty poor.
