The title is a bit misleading, as the article lists diverging analysts’ opinions, ranging from Valve willing to sell at a loss or low margins, to high prices due to RAM and SSD price volatility.

    Theoretically people could use it for a cheap non-gaming PC, except the cheapest non-gaming PC would be non-gaming specs.

    Anyone using it for cheap crypto-mining is an idiot, the cheap option there is a rack full of bang-for-buck GPUs.

    Are there any other use-cases that involve gaming-PC specs? Making videos, perhaps?

      Could be good for some home automation workflows- plex server, transcribing security cam video, doing object detection on said video.
