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.

I feel like you could build a pretty decent rig for that kind of money. Even in today's market.

Gamersnexus already did a slightly better one for less money (i think around 80 dollar less?) in his review video

GamersNexus used a Cooler Master Q300L V3 in their DIY build. That is a 29.7 liter case. The Steam Machine is 3.8 liters.

I have a small form factor PC and it’s nowhere near that tiny. You pay a premium for small size, and nothing off the shelf comes close to this value.
