    Yeah, because everyone agrees the price is too low and more engineering and manufacturing costs are needed to beef it up.

      I’m talking about something that is closer to a true PC ecosystem than the locked-in underpowered overpriced DOA system.

      If the price is going to be exorbitant the system might as well be customizable and not limited to AMD’s trash bin.

          You’re asking me to create the design? I’m not an engineer.

          I can tell you that PCs are generally a mess and are definitely limited by standards set decades ago.

          That’s what Valve should be doing instead of making a $1000 PS4.

            yeah, so the hardware does not exist yet. but valve is not AMD either, I doubt they have the money (yes) or the expertise to effectively become a graphics card manufacturer. probably they would have to come up with their own data and power sockets, and then it wouldn’t be compatible with anything else, maybe a steam machine 2
