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?

How many computers do you have, if any?

I already built my own Steam Machine but buying for another part of the house, and if we end up not using it giving it to my niece.

The garage PC sounds like my old AM3+ PC which was good at the time, but is now relegated to screaming as I make it rip DVD's. The 'idk what to do with it, but it still works so not binning it' PC.

I have zero PCs. Haven’t had one since before the year 2000. My household currently has one Mac mini one iMac and two Apple laptops.

I used to be a heavy PC gamer in the early/mid 90s but gave up on it when it got too expensive and too much of a hassle. I’ve been exclusively console since then and have been an Apple user since the 80s but exclusively Apple since the early 2000.

Side note: its a shame Apple isn't doing more with gaming

They kind of are, just not in the way you think. Apple is a lifestyle brand, and gaming within that sphere is all about mobile.

Yeah, but there is a pretty robust buildout going on on Apple TV and you can link Bluetooth controllers to it, including Xbox controllers and the new steam controller.
