    There is no other device with the same hardware. You know there isn’t. I don’t understand why you’re making this up.

    This again… Yes there are. Here’s the specs: https://thegamepost.com/valve-steam-machine-full-specs/

    The “semi-custom” GPU they said is only firmware. The silicon is off-the-shelf. Everything else is also off-the-shelf. What don’t you get about this? You can buy these parts yourself.

      I know what the specs are. Here’s what your link says:

      the Steam Machine runs on a custom AMD setup

      You seem intent on ignoring the package as a whole. Even if you could buy the CPU and the GPU, You cannot buy the motherboard or the case or the coolers or the power supply. If you buy comparable ones piecemeal, “off the shelf”, it will be significantly larger and louder because the package is simply not optimized that way. What don’t you get about this?
