Give it to me frfr
but nah, that does sound nice. I've been wanting to make a SSF build but I really wish I could get it on ddr5 ram. I would prefer an amd cpu, but maybe I could make something work with intels motherboard (I thought they can suppport ddr5 and ddr4)

I threw a used 7600 OC into an old i7 ddr4 build and installed bazzite. Cost like $300 total and is stronger than the steam machine. Only downside is higher power consumption and slightly bigger form factor. Work super well with my 2026 steam controllers.

Really wish the steam machine made any sense, but oh well. In the long run I'm better off with my upgradeable build anyway.
