It is a bigger, don’t have the Steam Controller dongle integrated, and you need to manually install SteamOS on it.

But you get a machine that can be upgraded way more easily than the Steam Machine, and a better GPU from the start.

    350 isn’t nearly enough.

    Yea you get a single spike in power draw and that PC crashes. No way that shitty PSU can handle peak power draw if both CPU and GPU kick in at once

      another thing is that PSUs slowly lose capacity over time. eventually the system might turn really unstable and eventually unusable.

      At ~310 estimated usage you’d probably want at least a 450 to be safe I think.

      With only 350 you’d probably need to undervolt or set power limits, which beyond obviously limiting performance (but at least something the Steam Machine suffers from too) isn’t exactly “it just works.”
