The no1 reason to self-build is to save money. Obviously, this thing isn't going to appeal to that crowd. For a pre-built, this price isn't crazy. And the performance is fine for 1080p/1440p gaming.

So if you're the kind of person who knows the GPU nomenclature by heart, you probably won't buy this, but I still expect the thing to sell-out by virtue of being Valve.

I'm rooting for Valve's success because that means wider Linux adoption.

I cant figure out the nomenclature and was considering buying. I wanted to build but it is insane prices.
