minus-squareCroquette@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·4 days ago My point is that even pre-built PCs are cheaper and better in every way other than size. Size is a big factor here. Steam made a console sized PC. There isn’t a lot of PC case that size. And the list of PC parts for SFF are limited and more expensive than their normal counterparts. So yeah, if you want a full tower PC in your living room, don’t buy the Steam Machine. But I haven’t seen a PC build of that size cost less.
