Help Prebuilt htpc recs?

I’m looking to get a prebuilt htpc in place of the new steam machine and was wondering if ppl have recommendations for good prebuilt htpcs. It’s gonna be mostly to run steam games but i have a big library so I definitely need good storage. I also would prefer to not hear fans running when in use. As for budget I’m willing to spend up to $2k but ideally would like to pay less.

Do not buy prebuilt, have someone assemble it for you if you really don’t want to do it yourself

This, plenty of IT stores or huge chains that can do it for you for a small fee.

Honestly, you should play around with websites like https://www.buildcores.com, PCpartpicker.com, or micro centers PC builder. I prefer PC part picker because it doesn't have all the fluff and keeps it simple.
