Of course it's reasonable to cross-shop the GabeCube against mini PCs. But I'm pretty sure the cube will come out on top. Powerful mini PCs are quite expensive. If the price is right, the cube will easily beat them on value alone. But that's of course speculation, until we know the actual price

Considering they built the whole steam machine around the fan and cooling design, and they're using the very latest CPU tech, I doubt any other mini PC would be able to complete on performance per volume. If the tiny size isn't a requirement though, I'm sure there are slightly bigger builds that would be equivalent.
