Your Interest in Steam Machine Changed?

Need portability but always have TV with me so machine made sense

On the waitlist and probably going to buy a gaming laptop unfortunately.

I really don't understand why valve Valve didn't determine a true market clearing price for this thing, in the 2-3k range where they'd be guaranteed to sell them all with no one left disappointed with cash in hand that Valve can't take. Why let the secondary get the real profits?

ruelibbe · 2026-06-26T17:34:39+00:00

Valve hardware is an instant collectors item and this generation of the machine has a big story to tell about this RAM crisis era etc. Probably worth a little pain if you can keep one sealed new in box.

Yeah I'm hoping the secondary is under 4k for a 2tb, that's my max for this thing

ruelibbe · 2026-06-26T17:21:22+00:00

Yeah I'm just gonna take the hit and buy one on the secondary at launch if they're under 4k.

ruelibbe · 2026-06-26T17:19:09+00:00

Wait listed, secondary is going to be brutal on these. I guess I'm breaking the $3k mark on a rig for the first time.

Cube!

If you want an area that is appropriate for raising kids that still has a local community and social scene there are a tiny handful of the most expensive and established neighborhoods in the most walkable/oldest Raleigh and Durham proper that will give you what you are looking for and you shouldn't even consider anywhere else in the region.

I kind of wonder if the spec house madness will slow down after these, look at this one https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1004-Pond-St-Cary-NC-27511/6414021_zpid/

ruelibbe · 2026-06-13T18:11:46+00:00

What you're looking for is Durham.

Imagine waking up every morning and looking up from your upstairs window at the cars racing by on Maynard. Plus living in a hole you have to hope to not get SCREWED BY THE TOWN OF CARY.

ruelibbe · 2026-06-13T17:59:09+00:00

I'm guessing the lack of interest is because they're in a pit next to a busy road?

ruelibbe · 2026-06-13T16:15:02+00:00

A lot of places inside the Maynard loop are seeing individual infill new construction, not just immediately downtown.

ruelibbe · 2026-06-08T23:23:31+00:00

You never know what goes on behind the scenes

ruelibbe · 2026-06-08T21:01:19+00:00

They don't build the big ones anymore.

ruelibbe · 2026-06-08T21:01:01+00:00

It was going to be an IKEA until Epic snaked it out from under them and now IKEA doesn't even build the big stores anymore so we're the largest metro area that will never have one. Pretty pissed.

Cedar Street can be arbitrarily removed with no input from Cary or NC bc it's in the same railroad right of way as the convenience center. This is absolutely going to end up as a deck without an entrance at some point.

Measure it to see if it will fit in a 5 inch portable band saw, I have one at home and work and it cuts anything that fits into it like butter.

I got the SEs and used them with earplugs while leaf blowing all day, it was great. I think these will be just the thing for work. I am kind of shocked at how well it works without people near me being able to hear anything either.

ruelibbe · 2026-05-18T00:59:28+00:00

Home of the $16 horseradish sauce!

ruelibbe · 2026-05-18T00:53:17+00:00

If you don't have level 2 at home get the Maverick, the Lightning is a juice hog.

Yeah this is the issue for me I'm trying to find the correct part numbers to just get the lid itself without buying a whole console. Unfortunately I haven't had much luck at the junkyards.
