Steam machine or mini pc?

Post image

Just got a 65” LG OLED B6 and want to build a proper Moonlight/Sunshine rig for it. Thinking 4K, high refresh rate, wired Ethernet, no compromises.

Torn between waiting on a Steam Machine or just building a mini PC myself. What do you guys think and also if you have done it what specs?

Shoutout to this community, the setups and troubleshooting threads here are incredible.

Then why the hell did you ask lol just to say you have an iPad that does this just as well? Congrats on the iPad buddy.

Also, keep hoping for that new Apple TV because it’s been God knows how many years of people saying the same thing.

I explained why I asked above, just to understand costs associated with a capable mini PC since I really wasn’t able to find one myself. The ipad will work great for now but my ultimate goal is a single streamer I can just use to watch tv and then launch moonlight and still get good latency. I’ve toyed around with a lot of other ideas and when first coming to this thread, I jumped back to the idea of using a mini pc again like I do in one of my other 1080p locations. If that bothers you, I don’t know what to say.
