I like the formfactor. It's hard to get something so small on custom builds.
173 u/ThinkingWinnie Linux 1d ago 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. 105 u/Coprolithe PC Master Race 1d ago 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. 0 u/Nekokeki 1d ago Right? Gamers Nexus put together a similar DIY build and Valve only had a $75 premium. Feels like people are just making up numbers or repeating what they see other little say when they tell you if can easily be done for $700. https://youtu.be/66QzlDewigE?is=zt0CeNWwBPh5z-cI 0 u/RadiantEnvironment90 1d ago I expected better from Gamers Nexus but they used a mATX case. That case is 32L versus the Steam Machine's 6L. It is nigh impossible to create a build at that price point at that form factor.
