    Still getting dbrand in news headlines. In my experience with shopping with dbrand, they try to be the fun, hip brand. Not clean, boriring coprate.

    If they manage to sell the case, that’s good for them. If they can’t sell it, then oops. More free press for them.

    And to be fair, if the steam machine was more affordable, I was also going to try and get this shell (or should I say, Chell) too. But with no shell, all my current desktops more expandable (can never drop back to a 2 monitor system), and SteamOS easier to install, I have no need for the cube now.

      Buying a whole new computer just because you want one with a certain aesthetic is like the final boss of overconsumption

        Jesus Christ, go back to your frugal monastery. Woe betide anyone wanting something because they like it. Do you also picket outside Lego stores bemoaning frivolity?
