I don't get it
It's a cube, that can play video games.(If you need another example in order to comprehend, look at the Nintendo Gamecube)
Quiet gaming mini PC, which fits any media cabinet under the TV with conveniences like HDMI CEC that usually only consoles have.
>>743304356It made more sense at $600
Kill yourselves consuming fucker
The GabeCube has specs geared towards casual gamers/console users, but since they aren't selling at a loss, the price only matches what a otherwise would be a much better pc if you built it or even got a prebuilt.
>>743304451$750 or $800 since it's slightly more capable than a PS5 and is a PC with all that entails (free games). Controller bundle for $850
>>743304356it's a PC, except it's really quiet, and small, and you can turn it on using your controller, and its wireless comms are done properlyif none of those other things matter to you then this is pointless for you. if those things do matter to you then this thing is the coolest thing ever and it fucking sucks that Valve didn't make enough so you have to wait in line for 2 years to get a unit
>>743307419>except it's really quietyour PC should be inaudible to the naked ear.If it's not, you really failed at basic fan management.
>>743307597most people fail at basic fan management. actually something like 98% of people fail at basic fan management, because usually people just use the stock fans that are on whatever AMD or NVIDIA GPU that they bought and those fucks are loud
>>743307597>>743307806very very few people use passively cooled GPUs or run their GPUs at extremely low RPMs, or don't use a GPU, and those 3 groups account for the 2% of people with a maximally quiet PC
>>743307806>because usually people just use the stock fans that are on whatever AMD or NVIDIA GPU that they bought and those fucks are loudjust adjust your fan curve in MSI Afterburner.Undervolt+Overclock your GPU.Takes a whole 2 minutes.
>>743307806I just have mine cranked to 100% at all times what's the big deal?
>>743304356its literally for people who dont know how to use PCs and never will, the fact its small, quiet and has console like features that you cant have on PC unless you do hacky modifications. honestly if i had good money, id get this for my mom who wants to get into gaming without having to get her into consoles which are MORE of a scam than this 'overpriced' box
>>743308180nothing if you don't mind fan noise. Steam Machine is not for you though
>>743307806its more than learning a custom fan curve, theres different factors like fan types and your actual case if you want to get it quiet but efficient enough that you can get stable non thermal throttling temperatures, not to mention its even harder if youre doing it in a SFF build
>>743304356>$1300 for reasonable storageYeah nobody is getting it not just you
>>743308370Just use the microsd slot.
>>743304356>2026...>I am... Forgotten...
>>743308312the shit heap known as "Steam Machine" thermal throttles even with laptop components, so even if you are absolutely retarded, you can just get more powerful systems for the same price such as what I posted here >>743307314, drop all fan speeds to minimum, and let it thermal throttle in the summer for that 2 months of heat assuming you even lack A/C, and it will still be MUCH MORE POWERFUL than it
>>743304356its a small PC that runs steamos.Like the steam deck before it it only really exists to show the viability of a non windows PC.Its sold out and has a rdiculous waiting list. Its already inspired several competitors and knock offs (exactly what valve wanted) so overall its done its job, though sadly has seen lower than expected production and higher than expected prices due to the RAM cartel doing the illegal shit they do every 5 years or so.
>>743304356me neither because im not boughting it
>>743307314Does it run steamos?
>>743310519Yes if you install it
>>743307314>no CEC>not compact>not quiet
>>743304356Saturn worship
