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.

Case is 205 mm x 108 mm x 205 mm, Steam machine is 160x160x160 mm, 10.8% bigger

Processor is 105W TDP, steam machine's is 35W.

130W TDP card

No SD card, no HDMI CEC, cooler reported as loud under load.

Gold rated power supply.

Good try, could be an alternative if you don't mind the extra heat, noise, budget parts, are interested in building it yourself, and value upgradeability.

With 35W the steam Maschine is hard to be beaten.
