    It is very hard to make a device that is affordable, compact, efficiently cooled, and modular. Offering complete support is also infinitely more difficult when hardware is not controlled for. GPU and CPU are both customized AMD chips and the power supply is designed for their anticipated power draw.

    If you want to swap your GPU, build your own SFF. Hopefully they’ll have SteamOS available for general use soon.
