It is a bigger, don't have the Steam Controller dongle integrated, and you need to manually install SteamOS on it.

But you get a machine that can be upgraded way more easily than the Steam Machine, and a better GPU from the start.

Are you really going to shit on a PC because it's not a Steam Machine? What kind of weird console-gamer brand loyalty is this?

The last thing i'd ever want to do is go with a kit for SFF. I have built exclusively for over 20 years at this point and picking a motherboard, cooling solution, PSU and overall internals myself tends to get me something that is better quality than a kit using cheaper versions of everything they can't sell to fit a price point. I don't think i've done a build as cheap as 1k since I was a teenager, but i'm not just buying the most expensive shit either.

Those silverstone cases are super fugly. It's like they haven't updated shit since 2010, and this kind of lines up since that case is well over a decade old. The case can only fit GPUs that are up to 270mm long by 129mm tall, which really limits what you can put in there. My steel legend 9070xt is 298 x 131, so it can't fit in two dimensions. I have a 3070 suprim that is 335mm x 140mm, that thing is never gonna fit either. You have to really seek out something that fits.

If I was going to give someone advice on a smaller / ITX build today i'd say go with something way more comfortable to work with like a Cooler Master NP200. My last build is a 25L ATX build with no sacrifices. Cable management is one hell of a struggle.

Very possible to build something that will be faster for cheaper, or grab a deal on a gaming laptop around the same price with better ram/storage and similar GPU, but there's no way to build something smaller than the machine really.
