what kind of specs can we build a mini itx these days? I haven't looked into it, but the small form factor is a pretty big premium. I'm not sure I could build a ~ Raydon 7600xt micro itx build for less than $1K usd? (I haven't really looked, though).
For me, I'm looking at this like a nice micro itx build, and I'd probably pay up to a grand for it. (pending final specs and performance reviews, because it's kind of hard to compare it's custom chips on paper.)
- romanovcode 11mo agoIntel i7, 1tb ssd, 32gb ram and 3070 can fit in ITX which would be MUCH better performance than the steam box for games. Only downside is you have to install Windows of course.
- rollcat 11mo agoI haven't checked in detail, but I would suppose SteamOS isn't far off from running on general-purpose PCs. Else, I've heard a lot of good things about Bazzite.
- jakogut 11mo agoWhy do you have to install Windows? You could put bazzite or any other distro of your choosing on this machine and have a similar experience to the official Steam Machine.
- taude 11mo agoI thought bazzite wasn't running against nvidia yet?
- jakogut 11mo agoIt may not, but that doesn't mean you need to install Windows. Any distro that packages Steam and the Nvidia driver will work. EDIT: It appears to be supported for RTX 20xx and newer GPUs. https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/UHQ0ZiW0BX https://www.reddit.com/r/linux_gaming/s/UHQ0ZiW0BX
