Every single video you saw about the Steam Machine was fairly objective and mostly negative when it comes to Price to Performance... however every launch day review was also semi-sponsored by Valve... so even with the negative reviews I bought it... (and I plan to mod it) but was is REALLY as bad as people sa ○ Get your JayzTwoCents Merch Here! - https://www.jayztwocents.com ○ Join this channel to get access to perks: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCkWQ0gDrqOCarmUKmppD7GQ/join ○ Join the official JTC Discord! https://discord.gg/jayztwocents ○○○○○○ Items featured in this video available at Amazon ○○○○○○ ► Amazon US - https://amzn.to/43wnUsz ► Amazon UK - http://amzn.to/Zx813L ► Amazon Canada - http://amzn.to/1tl6vc6 ••• Follow me on your favorite Social Media! ••• Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/jayztwocents Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/jayztwocents Instagram: http://instagram.com/jayztwocents# SUBSCRIBE! http://bit.ly/sub2JayzTwoCents --- 00:00 It's Here! 03:22 Unboxing 09:34 Initial Setup Experience 16:20 Airflow Smoke Test 18:24 RGB Light Bar 20:40 RE4 Gaming 22:03 Cyberpunk Gaming 25:21 Smoke Test 2 25:58 Wrap-up

Micro SD is for swapping libraries with your Steam Deck if you would like. And its instantly recognized by the OS.
Cool. Now tear it apart for watercooling
I can't believe Jay is such a shill, accepting a sponsorship from JayzTwoCents smh my head
Put it in your living room for a week and see what it's like to really use it :)
Being a Star Trek next gen fan I would 3d print a casing that looks like the Borg Cube for that steam macbine
Why did watching Jay go through the set-up remind me of watching my dad put together a piece of furniture he got online that only came with directions in chinese? 🤔
The feet are reversible so it can stand up a little higher.
I don't think people realize how compact the form factor is till you place it next to the average SFF build.
i have just been informed that Jay was a teenager by Toy Story 1's release
I'd love a follow-up video after you've actually used it in the intended experience (at home in front of a tv) when actually playing games for enjoyment rather than running benchmarks since we already know the performance. The real living with it experience basically is the only thing left that's interesting to know and I'm curious what effect that will have on your opinion about it.
It would be sick to mill a distro plate instead of the front panel.
I want to live in a present that didn't drive up prices of otherwise cool products like this 😪
The controller can be paired to two "puck". So you can use the built in by the Cube and use the "real" one by another PC.
I was curious about the steam machine and controller but the only thing I’ve really cared about was the Steam frame. I hope that turns out better.
4:13 microSD for expandable storage like Steam Deck. Also it's hot swappable with Steam Deck and Steam Frame (they already confirmed this) to move your library on it around easily
Frankly, this video made me want the Steam machine more. I don’t play high end AAA games anyway, most of the games I play are either CPU limited, or not really limited at all. But I’m interested in having an ultra quiet machine in the living room that can both play games and content. And if it also adds to the growing Linux base, all the better I think.
19:10 Does this remind anyone else of Deep Thought from Hitchhikers Guide??? 😂😂😂
Watching Jay going through the setup process was painful.
Microsd card aligns with the steam deck. So that way you can pop the card between the two devices
Only reason I would want a cube case is to get a skin to make it look like the Lament Configuration from Hellraiser.
