16GB of RAM costs about $260 on average now. NVMe varies alot from what I'm seeing on pcpartpicker. I also find that trying to do a small form factor build costs more than a mid-tower build usually. Memory companies are building more manufacturing facilities, but those will be for LLM machines. We're stuck high and dry for a loooong time, it looks like.

Plus if you don't want to fuck around with Linux, microshit are finally trying to make a non-shit gaming UI on PC with the Xbox mode or whatever it's called. From some early impressions videos I've seen it looks promising, it basically launches straight into a big picture like UI and debloats a lot of windows processes that run in desktop mode.
Basically there are options out there that don't require spending over a grand for a gimped PC. Without even a controller. Jfc.

Here's the thing that is attracting me to the steam machine. I am a lazy guy when it comes to my laptop. It's kinda big, plugging it into the TV would be a hassle with the mouse. I don't really feel comfy playing games on it.
I want something compact I can sail the high seas on when it comes to watching shit online in the bed or living room.
Can I just plug in any PS5 controller and charge it via the cube or do I need to do it via ps5?
How many connection ports are on the cube?
I can use an internet browser on it right?
I can still play every free half life mod on it right?
Gmod isnt too taxed I hope?
I can still emulate a lot of cool shit pre modern times right?
If I can do all that, it's basically a one time purchase and I can cancel my PSN account and save a shit ton of money in the long run.

With the current price of RAM, SSD and GPU. A decent low-mid range PC will cost nealy $1500.
Just look at the price change in 6 months
Found this PC while browsing this thread itself.
PC hardware (and quite frankly, the software itself too), is fucked.

Yes the GPU is slower, the CPU is faster on the Steam Machine, and FSR4 is on RDNA3 now so the GPU being weaker is a bit of a moot point when you can upscale from 1080p like Valve specifically said on the spec sheet. This thread is full of retards who haven't looked at PC prices in years. Valve is selling this thing basically at cost, they can't sell at a loss because it is a PC and not a closed ecosystem where they would be guaranteed to make the money back on game sales.

If it's the same price (or more) to build my own mini-PC for the living room, why not go with the GabeCube? Oh right because you can still upgrade it or sell it for parts later. Still, I'm trying to price out a PC and it's incredibly disheartening when the price of RAM is more expensive than the graphics card.

if you are touting FSR as a selling point you are a faggot and should get the fuck out of the hobby.
prices are whack, dont buy shit unless you are on 1150 lga or something like that.
if you have 1000 bucks and have a normal amd pc you buy the 5800x3d, two sticks of 8 3200hrz 16cl ram and a 9060xt and call it a day

Isn’t the point of a PC in 2026 is being able to play how you want?

I bought this minipc a couple of weeks ago in anticipation of Valve's overinflated prices. I slapped Bazzite onto it and it functionally works like a Steam Machine. I don't play all the "latest" games anyway but its handled a lot of what I've thrown at it just fine. Cyberpunk 2077, Hitman 3, Crysis, a locally hosted AzerothCore server...
If I ever want to upgrade it at a later time, I could just buy and set up an external GPU. Funnily enough, the Amazon Prime price for it has dropped roughly $40 USD since yesterday. There are other routes for a person to get their foot in the door for pc gaming. I don't believe the Steam Machine is the way to go when it asks way too much up front with little to no room for expansion in the future.

The way I see it, the Steam Machine now caters for one market and one market only (excluding the diehard Volvo whales): casuals looking to upgrade their PC or move out of the console ecosystem but cannot be bothered to do assembly. Basically the same target as prebuilts, but with the brand power of Steam.
I don't think it's necessarily a bad segment to target, as these would exactly be the type that can absorb the brand surcharge without second thoughts. That said Steam Machines better be thoroughly idiot proofed if they want to go all-in on this. The moment it requires loonix style config is the moment it craters hard .

Good luck with that. Something similar didn't work for me when I tried with my two gaming laptops, an M.2 OCuLink adapter, and a self-built OCuLink eGPU. All GPUs in question were Nvidia and seemed to be blocking each other.
No idea about the 780M, and maybe it's less quirky about it, but the iGPU in my older Ryzen 5 3400G was very quirky wrt additional GPUs, although that may have been a bug with the old BIOS.
Many are saying this.

Any GPU made after 2018. Steam Machine's graphics card is basically an RX7600. Valve was smart though, they built a machine that kind of sucks but can't really be reproduced by the consumer because the parts are older. Compatible stock is harder to find so any price-comparison is better obfuscated.
