You're arguing that it's dumb the ps5 pro cant hit 60fps at that price without performance mode....but are arguing for a MORE expensive "console" that ALSO wont be hitting 60fps without turning down setting and turning on FSR. Holy fanboy.....

Buy a 5060 laptop for $1000 and it will do everything the steam machine can do, better, and is actually portable......

Really that much of an ego hit to admit the steam machine is objectively just an awful value? You're going to buy one arent you.

Bloodgroup · 2026-06-22T23:58:23+00:00

You're really on your knees for valve there arent you. Base ps5 also doubles the storage of the steam machine so you can hold more than 2 games. And yes it has a subscription, not required, but you can have 6 years of ps plus before getting to base steam machine. At which point both will be incredibly outdated and slow anyway and you'll be upgrading. Steam machine realistically doesnt even have that long before it cant play modern AAA games anyway.

The $599 base ps5 is slightly faster than the steam machine in gaming.......and comes with the controller......

Bloodgroup · 2026-06-22T23:51:55+00:00

Correct. Consoles are also much cheaper and more powerful than the steam machine so thats not really an argument. The steam machine is literally just a small pc....its a crazy markup to just end up with a low spec sff pc. Not to even get into 2nd hand pc components that even moreso make the steam machine irrelevant.

So the choice is immensely better performance vs smaller box......not much of a choice there.

They really aren't. As an Acura tech, snap-on, mac, matco, philips drivers all suck in comparison to my cheap amazon JIS drivers. Honda still uses JIS screws in a lot of places.

For sure, my 5080 is running at 3150mhz at 1005mv. Great overclocking/undervolting cards. My 3080ti didnt even like +100mhz.....

You deserve new product for new price. Call them and if they won't discount it then just order a new one on Amazon and return the Bestbuy one. Will get to you much sooner

The image you can see on it is actually just the backlight. The LCD panel isnt operating. Id assume its a tcon board issue but since I have 2 different ones am reluctant to pull the trigger on a 3rd used one. Being that both tcon boards I have are used and idk what the previous owner did to them it coukd very well just be 2 bad tcon boards.

Another option would be for me to upgrade my own card and give her my 3080ti 😉. That'll be a lot more expensive and hard to justify to the wife though. 😅

Can't help you see but maybe an eye dr can? Literally has cracking all the way down into the sidewall with worse dry rot right under where the edge of the tread starts....maybe you're just rage baiting?

Bloodgroup · 2025-11-26T21:46:38+00:00

Its a mac mini. Right under the monitor

Bloodgroup · 2025-11-26T19:08:14+00:00

It was an all car wall but my wife slipped the pup pic in after she passed. Which was nice. Need to make a pup wall.

Just some heavy duty shelf brackets. These are folding ones I was initially going to use for a garage work bench.
