PCs aren't that expensive (yes I know its a luxury good, and out of reach of lots of people), especially entry level, and there are a lot of good options near this price/form factor. If its priced as high as half the estimates I've seen people would just DIY it for the same price without the valve branding. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dessa@hexbear.net 2 points 9 months ago I would pay extra to avoid the hassle of pc-building. I can do it but I don't enjoy it permalink fedilink source parent [–] bobs_guns@lemmygrad.ml 4 points 9 months ago I think it will be 650. permalink fedilink source parent
