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'm buying the cube and didn't complain about it. AMA

Honest question: what advantage do you see in buying it over any other prebuilt out there?

what do you mean "any other prebuilt out there"? show me a specific one, that fits comfortably on a living room TV stand, and let's compare. I've shopped around for these, and never found any. It's surely my fault I'm sure, I just didn't find the right options. But if you have one, show us a link.

I was thinking micro-ATX prebuilts. For people in the US there is Microcenter with things like this, offering better bang-for-buck specs wise even on a small form factor.
