Playnix launch their own Steam Machine-like Linux gaming console

I can buy all the same parts, case included, for €800 or $1300 CAD. So you’re paying €350 on top of retail part costs for the small form factor and pre-assembly.

Edit: that is what availability and pricing I have in Canada.

That’s an off-the-shelf case? Which one is it?

Sorry, I worded that poorly. All the exact components, and also a case, for that price. The form factor you’d get would be a full size desktop if you built your own, which would be much larger than their premade machine.
