I imagine most of the more tech savvy people on Lemmy would scoff at this and say "Might as well build a PC" (me included, which I already did), but this is aimed at the consumers who do not have that skill set and are willing to pay that price point for a Steam gaming system /shrug

With today's prices how much cheaper would you get building similar yourself?

In Poland with already high electronics prices and 23% VAT, I could build something similar for around $1000.

The thing is, 23% VAT applies to the SM too.
