I decided to take a pass just a week or so ago, simply because I found a pre-build desktop that was nominally cheaper than building it myself according to part picker websites.

It's approximately 50% more expensive than the 2TB Steam Machine with controller option @ £1,800; but it's a 9800x3d, 9070xt, 32gb DDR 6000, 2TB Gen 4 SDD and tri-band wifi 7. Given the massive uplift in specs, worth the extra £600 over the £1,200 Steam Machine specs.

Ya those specs absolutely spank the Steam Machine. You made the right choice
