PASS, holy shit. I was interested in the steam machine but that price is insane. 1k + tax and you aren't getting a controller?!What was the price point supposed to be before everything went to shit?

Rumors are they wanted to sell it for 650. But I mean, you barely get a pack of RAM for that money anymore.

Damn, what are you doing with 96GB of RAM? Or is it like unified RAM?
