yes it wouldn’t be compatible with anything else, but you would be even more angry because the research and manufacturing costs would make it even more expensive.
complain to micron and openai about the price, not valve. they can’t do anything.
Im not angry. I actually would like to see a new type of PC design.
I think the ATX design is limiting PC design and making systems much larger than they need to be.
Valve should have designed a new standard that also includes power supplies and discrete GPUs for more space efficient design that also makes cooling easier.
I have a mini-itx system that I managed to build right at the moment RAM jumped 50% in price.
The problem isn’t the size of the board. The problem is the ITX orientation of all the components forces PC to be much larger and a bit more complicated than they have to be to build.
I think if engineers were given this problem to solve while allowing for modularity and upgradeability would definitely come up with something much better than what we have.
Edit - for example, both the motherboard and the GPU need a ton of power. Why not have a standard where they both slot into the power supply? Why not have a PCIe pass through built into the power supply so that both large boards sit back to back instead of perpendicular?
It’s just an idea but I was thinking of that while routing cables on my last PC build.
It wouldn’t be compatible with anything else? Like the current overpriced and underpowered hardware which they designed themselves?

What about mini-ITX?
