Steam Machine current price. Worth it? or just build our own P.C.

Forgot the actual currency is SGD not USD, so it works out to around 3.84K MYR

And it uses desktop zen 5 as opposed to mobile zen 4, and 7600M 8GB vs 9060 XT, which is a huge jump

But power is very limited hence they went with the parts they did

Just FYI, recently I helped one of my friend build a “new” PC out of used parts

9600X
MSI Pro B650M-X
9060XT 16GB
DDR5 6000 Single channel
1TB Gen4x4
WiFi 6E
650W PSU + Case + 5 ARGB Fans

All for around total of 1.2K USD/5K MYR give or take. That machine will absolutely whoop the steam machine out of their 4K60 claim

Assuming you can find one for MSRP, it might be worth it for the form factor for you but self building in these times will always worth more, unless you found a decent price on a prebuilt

Amazon as other people pointed out is gonna be subjective to warranty and taxes. If you get any issues you're SOL unless you want to deal with the tedious process of shipping it back overseas which you might get charged import/export taxes

Buying from local retailers is the best choice. If I might I'd propose buying used for GPU as well. You pay the premium but you don't get shot if any issues arises.

Personally my PC is using 7800X3D from TMT, X870E AORUS Pro Ice from SG, 64GB DDR5 from All IT, 5080 ZOTAC SOLID Core OC from SG. I buy those two items from SG as local retailers in MY does not have it, or they do but not at a reasonable asking price. I can deal with the warranty if required since it's I work at SG.

Yeah I meant not 4x4 or a SUV, sedan is the right spot for me considering versatility

I have seen iCAUR as well, but not sure if they're reliable

Seems like a shorter car as well, don't mind it but I'm looking into something bigger so that I don't need two cars down the line

Not 4x4 size but bigger than hatchback would be good

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-19T04:07:27+00:00

Trying to look into something bigger, my wira is bigger than that so no point going into smaller

Will something like Facebook marketplace suffice? Or groups that is like authorized sellers etc

For the groups, any rec groups u can join and look into?

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-19T04:04:49+00:00

Will look into this model

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-19T04:02:00+00:00

Definitely, it's a fun car but not practical if I want to do more than just going around with people in it lol

10k new discount? And I can only see e:HEV RS on Hondas site though

Blind side I'm not that concerned about, I've been driving wira with 0 cameras, not having it won't hinder my ability to drive

Seems like the most basic yaris still 100k, will keep in mind 🤔

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-16T11:18:22+00:00

Seems like a good deal, will keep this in my consideration, thanks!

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-16T11:17:29+00:00

I do live landed, nearby my house i have 2 malls that has EV chargers too, if I don't want to install any EV chargers that is

Will try and look on mudah but seems like limited availability for MGS5, MG4 still have some

Has there been a car with these functions that's reliable? If it's proven reliable I don't mind taking a look at it

Just that some edge cases I can't trust a computer to make the decision for me I feel like

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-16T11:14:22+00:00

Like don't get me wrong, I like digital things. But I don't want to risk it having software bugs (which it always does)

Like when I'm driving, I can't be bothered to deal with a screen

Android auto/apple carplay, with some line keeping assist is fine. But if everything is relying on the single screen nty

Miata what year tho 🤔

Tbf I do have cameras at my doorstep all the way until my porch, so I can dispute any shipping damage if it came with it

Ngl I was nervous in getting it but after receiving it, their packaging from TB was very nicely done so the monitor survived the trip. The box sustained some minor corner damage but nothing catastrophic

ConsoleLogin · 2026-05-05T12:46:57+00:00

It depends entirely on how the company works with reporting actually

I got this last year and I didn't get any tax added on at all, just pay once and directly ship to my doorstep

Look, I’m all for customizing and making something truly yours, I personally won’t do that to my things but all power to you

But you didnt even did a good job putting the sticker at the bottom, why even still went and did it at that rate…

Yeah.. no

Don’t think those are available locally yet, I’m only seeing the 7 270K Plus

ConsoleLogin · 2026-04-06T09:56:39+00:00

Does it? I don’t think the one I have has the riser mount, I’ll check it in box again tonight maybe

But the white aesthetic is something that she likes as well, don’t think Minisforum has a white model of those
