I get what you're saying, but it's worth mentioning that even a Mini ITX board has a larger foot print (6.7" squared) than the Steam Machine's absolutely tiny 6" cubic form factor. It's really a very small device!

FWIW, I've always found that small form factor parts are a little more expensive too.

    Damn. I knew it was small, but I thought it was 9^3" not 6^3". I thought I'd at least matched it on volume, with my ~6.5x7x11". You're right, hitting that size with those specs is only possible with custom PCBs.
