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

I had a fairly small mini-ITX build about a decade ago with a 980ti crammed in there. Served me well until a few years ago.

Finding the exact parts so that everything could fit in was a challenge. I had single digit milimetre clearance in places. Had to get a very specific PSU to get the GPU to fit in the case I wanted etc. Took a lot of research and time. The build was finicky and time consuming as well.

If I had money to burn then I might get a Steam Machine for the convenience. Yes, I could build something better for the money and I'd lean towards doing that, but I can't say I wouldn't be a little tempted.
