As someone who hasn't had a desktop in over a decade, this is looking pretty appealing to me.

If it can play simple indie couch coop games on my TV, then it’s worth it. Can use my normal desktop for everything else.

Even me with a big tower is interested in the Steam Machine. My rig isn't powerful to say the least, but cramming things inside the size of the Steam Machine, from my research, can get expensive fast.

IMO $500 is the highest it should go to still sell well. This is based on a few videos of people building SFF PC with older parts that can do 4K30
