      Including features like CEC?
      Co sideeing where it should be placed, that could be very important to some.

          i mean, i spent that much on the sound controller for my system, but i am my father’s child and need my 5.1 at least. that center channel is really helpful for picking up dialog in shows that have shitty audio balancing (do not get me started on modern film and tv) and the woofer is necessary if you are in the Deaf community and want your friends to visit.

          the fact that when i turn on my playstation it jumps to the playstation input because i don’t know… i think the setting is called ARC? that’s just a plus.

      The one build I see in this thread is within $100 of the Steam Machine with comparable specs, without the form factor. I’d call that competitive. But if you disagree, they’re also releasing the ISO for SteamOS, as they’re more confident in broad compatibility, so if you were ever in the market for such a machine, you can save the $100.
