Has anyone seen this form factor before?
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jetpack/g-pack-the-high-performance-stealth-gaming-machine
Not the cheapest - and Kickstarter doesn't take bitcoins - but I'm thinking of getting one to attach to the back of my main TV.
Any other interesting form factors out there? Are Steam machines a thing yet? (I'll be moving over from Xbox, so it's all new to me.)

$1700 for the lowest version?! You could custom build a system for half of that with much better specs. Being small is worth nowhere near that much

Yeah I agree. The only people who can really get away with selling prebuilt machines are Apple and laptop manufacturers

Agree there's a heavy premium but it's for the VESA mountable form factor and thermal design/low volume, no? Anyone can build a massive tower that sounds like a jet engine and sits menacingly next to the TV.

easy way around it. ask yourself why are pc cases so big?
PSU and GPUs
buy a nice powerful slim PSU and a PCI-e raiser that way you can mount everything sideways. build or buy a slim case (empty cheap 1u case is fine) cheap because there normally lighter. mount everything in it flat and any 32" or bigger tv can hide it, added bonus drill a couple holes in the server case and you can mount it to the tv using the wall mount holes. takes about a day to do it right.
simple rules make sure everything is mounted securely and well cooled use an ITX board and youll have plenty of room.

$495 for what is essentially a modified 1U rackmount case?
What a joke.

it's a great idea but heavily overpriced.
i rather just spend a fraction and use a standard matx or mitx chassis put under my tv. this is very fancy though

If any PC gamer contemplating Steam machines,
this
is kind of a must watch.
Regarding prebuilts, custom builds are virtually always cheaper - if you know what you're doing or willing to spend the time doing your research.
Not your keys, not your coins!
