I mean, it looooks cool.
Mediocre cooling performance. and $$$$$
That top psu mounting makes no sense, it would look better on the bottom. Guess they did it to give the GPU air from the base. Is that really necessary? Because, clearly the cooling performance is mediocre.
tp4tissue:
If steam machine is indeed a 7600, is that enough for most consumers.
Basically a 2060/ 2070. IDK. is that enough for Modern expectations @ $500-600.
I think it's a bit expensive. Cuz you have no expandability.
This price bracket of products are not very good price to performance in general.
You really need to be around $1200-1500 to cross the threshold.
Buhhh Tp4, Valve got dat Optimizations, look, Optimizations give you 10%-15%, so you take a 2060/2070 + 10%, which is basically, an overclocked 2060/2070.
It's STILL NOT That fast. You're still spending year 2026 $ on a 2018 lvl product.
When the engineer says it's better than 70% of the hardware that's out there, even if that were true, the elevation isn't by all that much.
If you want PC gaming, you can easily build a $600pc with used parts 4060 or 3060, and blow this thing out of the water.
They sell whole refurb pcs with 4060 for $600.
Zen4, 7700, $80
b650, $80
32gb ram, used $70
psu, $40
case, $50
cooler, $25
$225 left for GPU.
If you penny pinch here/there, you can get $300-320 for gpu.
You can get a PREBUILT 5060 pc for $600, if you go with Intel's jank cpus.
Sniping:
steam machine is a step in the right direction. pc hardware is horribly unoptimized for its raw power. we need more unified hardware that is easy to diagnose hardware bugs and optimization issues. i don't want to see issues like people wrecking their computers trying to play bf6. that is an unacceptable experience. ideally, one day there could be a version of the steam machine with high end hardware that can satisfy those that crave faster machines. it's been far too long of having all these loose pc components creating infinite combos of pc hardware which creates all these issues. if I were to have it my way, ram cpu gpu and motherboard would all be sold in one piece in order to end hardware mismatch and unlock bandwidth limitations. it's gone too far if you ask me. way too many ram kits out there for no reason if you ask me, and QVL list is just a pain to work with, and motherboards have barely changed in principle in ages. time for a change
tp4tissue:
Budget brand Montech coming in with cooler, probably rebadged thermalright,
buhhh.. for $29.99 msrp, probably $25 on sale. performance at least as good as a peerless assassin, The copper pipes are not zinc coated, that's maybe a Hun, why not?
Cost savings.
Stilll... if they get it to $20 sales. hard to complain. The copper pipes though.
tp4tissue:
27 Inch oled for $400. Acer 1440p, 288hz
IDK... kinda meh...
If they did 320-330hz, Tp4 would be tempted, because that's the Max, but they kinda lazied it and did 288hz.
