With SSD, memory prices, and GPU prices still going up, releasing console-beating Steam Machines still seems way over the horizon to plan for. Once the AI bubble "pops", maybe .. but with so much going on in the world in terms of geopolitics also threatening to affect markets, I wouldn't dare to look into the future.
They're coming, they'll just be third party and expensive.
Might as well just build your own mini-ITX PC and install SteamOS if it gets to that point
The GabeCube is a lot smaller than mini-ITX, though. Might even be smaller than the mainboard alone.
