Overpriced shit. Horrible configurations. Better build one yourself, it's not hard at all.
>Can you do dual boot with windows on these?
Of course you can.
>Thinking of getting one.
A fool and his money are easily parted.

But that form factor! I like how small it is.

I think the Syber ones were some of the only ones with reasonable specs for the price they ask. I doubt you could find a better deal on a prebuilt gaymen rig than that $800 one

It's in ITX form factor, it uses consumer hardware, you can build it yourself. If I had to guess, that thing is almost exactly the size of a Silverstone Raven Z case. The Ncase M1 mentioned is even smaller, pic related though I don't know if you can tell how small it really is.

The $500 one is utterly atrocious tho, it has a fucking 750. It would be somewhat okay if they bumped that up to a 750ti for the same price.

If you follow OP's link, you'd see they replaced it with Steam Controller. No idea why he linked an old image.

What's a good prebuild with a small form factor?

the $729 one is decent for the specs.
However, it doesn't have an optical drive meaning no blue ray or dvd's.
It doesn't run windows. Steam os is definitely going to be inferior to windows.
I travel a lot so i bought gaming laptop. That can do all the gaming i need including gta v on normal settings. for just 800 dollars. for 1400 you can build a very powerful computer that has 6700k <best cpu so far
an the gtx 980 ti <best gpu so far

External drives that hook up to USB exist
Not to mention optical media is dying
>It doesn't run windows
You can install it yourself, so yes, it runs windows
Though I prefer doors myself

Do these steam boxes work with just any controller? Because I tried using this piece of dogshit at a friend's house and it's incredible that they thought they could sell this garbage to people.
Do they only run steambuntu?
