Comment on Steam Machine pricing announced (from $1049-$1428 USD), reservation lists open
bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de 1 week agoI was hoping for a miracle that I could recommend it to a friend’s son as a good entry into PC gaming. But they’re on a tight budget and I guess they could do better for the same money.

If their budget is tight enough yeah a Linux build-your-own is likely the cheapest way to go. It probably won’t be able to play high end games without getting close to the steam price point but you can go much cheaper and still play the majority of steam games.

Plus if you’re trying to start on a shoestring budget, you probably can do without the extra cost for something with this small of a form factor
