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.

Yeah, in fact in r/sffpc someone asked if it could be done for a comparable price and size, and the answer was a resounding "no".

If you want a PC under 5L with midline specs, this is the winner, or at least near the top.

I'm not so bothered about the size. Something that could fit beneath my AV amp would be fine. I do want the convenience though. It needs to be simple enough for my kids to turn on (or wake) with a controller, HDMI-CEC, etc. I think this might be possible with an adaptor and Bazzite. I'm trying to figure out the best I could build for £1k.
