Now that we've seen the price of the Steam Machine - here's a reminder, you really can just build your own if you want with the new SteamOS 3.8.

    Building your own PC with SteamOS is Missing one very important part for Home Media: propper CEC Support. This is something no DIY GPU or Motherboard has included Out of the Box. But it is very important for a good console like experience.

      Accurate, but there are still a ton of mini PCs with CEC support. I have a GMKTEC K12 with 32gb ram running Bazzite. I’ll probably slap Steam OS on it just to try that out and report back.

        Did you try this out? I couldn’t find any reliable information to confirm the K12 Supports CEC.

        This would be a huge thing.

          Not yet. But the K12 supports it. I set it up in the bios already, it’s just that Bazzite AFAIK didn’t get the kernel patch for it to work, at least on Bazzite 43. I haven’t found the time to check if it’s already in 44 or in the latest Steam OS version.

          But yes, the K12 supports CEC.
