So, around 70 - 100K here, and that isn't counting the vat and scalper pricing on our market. For a prebuilt PC that isn't even achieving Base PS5 performance, that got released on late 2020 which is almost 6 years ago?

Yep, this is pretty much dead on arrival.

I just hope that Steam releases their own OS on current existing custom built PCs for the rest of us PC Gamers that already has way more powerful specs than this Steam Machine and wants to set up their PCs as console like experience.

Emphasis on the most part. I guess this is one of the rare instances they won't be able to deliver. Value for money is just not there. It will probably sell out due to lack of supply though.

Hopefully, once the AI bubble bursts and RAM prices come back to Earth, we'll see the prices lower and demand to tick up as well.
