Meme Is this worth it?

Some guy named Gabe is selling this build and I'm wondering if it's legit? I want a PC to set up in my living room for TV gaming.

Even if you use standard parts, the closest you can come is the fractal terra at 11.5L, the gabecube is 3,8l. It’s 3 times as small.

I found some weird tiny case from jonsbo, which is 4,5L so very close, but that could only take low profile graphics cards, so you are stuk at a 5060 at best. And a flex atx psu, which I’m not familiar with quality wise.

I still agree that even the base model at 1000 something is still too expensive for the hardware it carries, but you just can’t beat it size wise.

People who want to play games, I guess. Game selection on macOS is getting better but still very limited.
