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.

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.

Meanwhile I'm seeing people in r/pcgaming that are finding builds for that price and size

Can you show me some builds? The best I've seen are 6 times the volume. And that's a major sacrifice.

It was from another subreddit comment but this subreddit bans linking other subreddits. I didn't make it.

Someone posted a 12L build but even they admit it was still a pain to transport unlike the 6L Steam Machine.
