TL;DR

Linus and the LTT crew slapped together a DIY “Steam Machine” using an AMD Ryzen 5 8400F CPU, RDNA 3–era RX 6600 GPU, 16 GB DDR5 RAM and a 500 GB NVMe SSD to eyeball what Valve’s secretive living-room Linux PC might actually cost. They walk you through the build, compare it to PS5 and typical gaming PCs, and factor in components, sales volume and manufacturing quirks to nail down a pretty educated price prediction.

Along the way they break down potential sales numbers, supply-chain hurdles and GPU shortages, then dive into game testing and value analysis—concluding that the Steam Machine probably won’t break the bank quite how you expect, but it won’t be bargain-bin cheap either.
