I’m in the same position, but I actually decided to proceed with my purchase. See my other comment here for details, but the short answer is that I still think the base model is a good value for what it is and fills some niches my beefy PC can’t.
Comment on Has anyone here got their Steam Machine yet?

If you already have a beefy computer, why were you planning to get it in the first place?

To also have my steam library available downstairs mainly. When the rumours started about a new steam machine I was all excited, big fan of the stuff Valve makes. But after seeing the specs and price I started having second thoughts but reserved one thinking it would probably take a couple of months anyway before I could buy one. Oh well.
If it was around 700 euros I would definitely have gotten one. The lack of performance could have been justified then because I could also use remote play if needed.
