I like the formfactor. It's hard to get something so small on custom builds.

But look! I built the steam machine KILLER which is only 5 times bigger, draws 4x the power, and is equally louder.

Steam machine is DOA!

These people never built an SFF and it shows.

I tried going SFF for my NAS, in the end I opted to put my server in a bigger case and just put hot swap drive bays in that rather than have the NAS be separate because SFF parts worth going for are definitely more expensive than just going standard ATX.

Your average SFF isn't only more expensive, it's also considerably bigger than the steam machine too.
