Impossible in current environment, I've seen comparisons of DIY and they came up with a roughly $71 premium over if you just built it yourself.

I mean 2 ways of looking at it. Goofy to buy this, but also goofy to buy any other weak machine at these prices. It was always expected to have these components pretty early on, people know it was poors or a 2ndary computer. Just market killed that. But that price disruption does the same thing, a build that was 1800, now can easily run 3k+ (depending whether we are considering 5090's vs compromising) So it's a just sucks to be a PC master race more than I see it as a fail on steams part

That's all there is to it. I just did a quick rundown on PCpartspicker, and came up with pretty much the same price as Valve.
What you get with this is a small and mostly silent package that fits under the TV. 4 years ago, this would have been $399.
