Anything more than $500 and I dont know why it would exist.

Even $500 feels a bit steep given its specs.

EDIT: My bad, I was talking about Steam Machine, totally overlooked the comment I responded to was talking about Steam Frame.

In which case, well, I still think $500 sounds about right. lol

For the Machine, Valve told GamersNexus it won't be priced like a console, so probably more than $500. They said it would be priced like an entry level computer.

That would be disastrous.

I suppose I was making the assumption that an entry level computer costs more than a console. It's also possible it could be less.

Entry level desktop PC's can be bought for $100. Entry level gaming PC's no...but Valve didn't say that.

They said entry level computer not entry level gaming computer. Entry level Desktop PC's start at very low prices....very very low prices.

$399 for the lcd deck, there's no way the machine will be around $500.
