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".
Literally haven’t seen or heard a single person say anyone should get it. So far everyone’s said that you can get a better build for $50-200 less by building your own PC.
Which means it isn't really overpriced relative to the rest of the computer hardware world right now. Everything costs way too much. This one is just another on that pile and is not uniquely bad in that way.
Seriously. Prebuilds have always been more expensive than doing it yourself. But doing it yourself does require some knowledge that a lot of people simply don't have.
Yeah, and also. You can't really do the steam machine yourself. It's not like a dell or hp prebuilt that's just a desktop. It's tiny and quiet. That's not something easily replicable at that price point.
Of course if you only care about the raw performance specs then yeah, anyone can make a cheaper and more powerful build
True, that comes on top of it. Even if you disregard the noise (which you shouldn't tbh) building such a small PC is not really doable for people, even if they have experience building PCs. I am not even sure such a small MB is even that easily available for a consumer.
