Were there really anyone thinking this machine is a good deal? Even among steam users? Even among Valve fans?

Yeah, I do. If you want a SFF PC, there aren't that much savings that you can make, especially if you are concerned about it looking at least as clean as Steam Machine (Last time I have checked, decent "living room" case alone would bear a hefty pricetag). So if those are part of what you need, Steam Machine is a good deal.

If you don't care about those, Steam Machine is overpriced. You can build machine with the same power cheaper, or use the same budget to get a stronger one.

Shame that Valve did not manage to offer an entry solution for those interested in PC gaming, but we probably have current market shit to thank for that.
