A bit of topic, but I was wondering how much bigger is the steam machine compared to the mac mini m4, since that's what I have and is my frame of reference. Obviously comparing apples to oranges and only talking about physical volume, not features, compatibility, price, personal preferences, etc.

Mac Mini m4: 127 x 127 x 50 mm = 0.8 L

Steam Machine: 156 x 162 x 152 = 3.8 L

That's 4.76 times more volume.

Or is it “comparing apples to steam engines”?

Given that Valve are the ones who released the Orange Box, methinks the original comparison is valid

It's only a little bigger than Mac Studio.

9.5 x 19.7 x 19.7 cm = 3,687 cm³

and half the size of my SFFPC @ 8.3L
