Hi everyone!

I had been a Playstation user since the first one and I own the fifth one.

After using Linux for years on weak computers for my admin, I decided to try Linux gaming in 2025 and bought a used LCD Steam Deck.

While I’ve been enjoying the Steam Deck, it hurts my neck and isn’t powerful enough for sim racing games.

Naturally, I was happy to learn that the Steam Machine was coming and was willing to invest up to CHF1000.- (~$1236) to get it.

Sadly, it’s not available to order in my country, Switzerland.

So now I have to choose between finding ways to order a Steam Machine or buying a prebuilt computer since I don’t want to source components to build something myself.

My priority would still be the Steam Machine, but I’d be open to alternatives.

What are your advices, what would you do if you’re in the same situation?

Thanks in advance for your help.

    It’s clear that you’re making some trade-offs with a 1000 EUR gaming PC in the current memory shortage.

    What looks nice about Mifcom is that they give you 3 years of warranty, use standard components, show you what they are, and allow you to change those. But, indeed the PSU looks very cheap and I have never personally ordered from them.

    With Tuxedo you certainly gain better Linux (Tuxedo OS) support, but they’re also rather expensive.
