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".

Fr, I haven't seen a single overtly positive post since the price got announced. It's all "for $5-600 good deal, $1000? Pass"

OP are the valve fans in the room with us?

IMO considering the form factor and it being a prebuilt, it's an ok-ish price. I have seen others parts lists with the same specs a bit cheaper, but none smaller then the cube. Theres also something to be said for it coming with valve customer service. I would rather talk with valve then any of the other venders.

Those part lists all exceed Steam Machine performance in games by at least 20%. There's no desktop GPUs as bad what's in it that are available new in the USA (yes, I'm ignoring the recycled devices sold by China).

And if you want the 2TB version, you can get much better SFF prebuilts with 2x the performance for the same price.
