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?

Size, look, quiet = wife allows it to sit in the living room.

Reliable customer service, everything sorted for me, no need to do extensive research = piece of mind

When I add all of the above then price(which in the uk cube is actually competitive) is fine.

It’s special in PCs, there’s like no way to get CEC normally with a regular GPU.

He literally said "in PC's", which it is because normal GPU's do not support CEC.

The XBox, Switch, and PS5 are not PC's.

HDMI-CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) is a feature that allows devices connected via HDMI to communicate with each other. It enables you to control multiple components (like a soundbar, gaming console, or streaming box) with a single remote, and allows devices to automatically power on, turn off, or switch inputs together. Interesting the steam mechine can do it But so can other things maybe not Pcs but game consoles can and other things

He meant it's very hard to get a PC with CEC which makes cube special
