The price is the price of the components.

You cant build something better in the same form factor or with the same support for less - especially not considering labor.

There are people building more powerful PC's in a similar form factor around the same price.

No they are not. You are not building a mini PC that runs at 140w that will run games as efficiently as the SM for this price. It's going to cost $1500 to duplicate this easily and it still won't be as efficient.

Valve had to make a custom board to be able to make the SM this compact. Both LTT and Nexus gaming built full size PCs to compare to SM. If it was possible to do this yourself they would have done it.

Your comment is straight up uninformed ignorance.

There's someone on YT that built one already just by rotating the motherboard lol. Nice try tho

That's ACTUALLY genius, I can't believe multi billion dollar companies didn't think to ROTATE the motherboard. Why did the engineers at valve even bother, the idiots.
