Linus Tech Tips (LTT): The STEAM Machine Won't Cost What You Think

The STEAM Machine Deep Dive

Linus and the team whip up a DIY Steam Machine using an AMD Ryzen 5 8400F, ASRock B650M board, RX 6600 GPU, DDR5-5600 RAM, NVMe SSD and more to reverse-engineer Valve’s spec sheet—and nail down a surprisingly reasonable price prediction compared to consoles like the PS5. Along the way they weigh sales forecasts, Linux living-room potential and cost-cutting factors to see if Valve’s mini-PC can really shake up gaming.

Price, Performance & Verdict

After crunching the numbers and sizing up AMD RDNA 3 and Zen 4 chops, they drop their official guess and even fire up a few games to test real-world value. All that plus sponsor shout-outs (Vessi, UGREEN, Secretlab, dbrand) makes for a fun, informal romp through Valve’s next big hardware gamble.
