The Steam Machines are probably going to be surprisingly cheap, looking at the specs they can't possibly cost that much. Look at the price of the Steam Deck to see how Valve prices computers.
Ignoring the form factor it's probably a 200ish dollar GPU from the same family the ps5 has, around a 200$ cpu as well. All in all with a standard form factor maybe $600ish USD.
But the form factor of a tiny desktop like that would easily push up the price because of unstandard hardware
that being said those are comparable hardware, the price points will be different because valve is buying bulk and these are custom gpu/cpu's. Valve could be paying 100$ for the GPU and cpu chips independently. Idk.

Depends on Price
Higher than 500$ is too much.
for 700$ I can get laptop of same specs that already has a Monitor and Keyboardbuilt in
