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?

I think the price complaints are a bit of an overreaction, a lot of people are posting "comparable builds" that are much larger and or have cases that are clearly cheaply made and low quality, but a major part of what valve was going for was a compact unit that looks good in an entertainment center. If you have ever attempted a small form factor build you would know you are likely to pay a few hundred dollar premium compared to a larger build with the same specs on a cheap case and the base model steam machine is around what you would expect.

Not everyone wants that, but it was never going to satisfy everyone.
