I get what you are saying but there are options like this. https://www.walmart.com/ip/MINISFORUM-G1-Pro-Mini-PC-AMD-Ryzen-9-8945HX-16C-32T-5-4GHz-32GB-DDR5-1TB-PCIe4-0-SSD-Desktop-Computer-2xHDMI-2xDP2-1-DP1-4-Outputs-5G-LAN-WiFi7-BT5/20136265068?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=103105999&veh=seo_fpl&cn=google This one is a couple hundred more than the base steam machine but also probably twice as powerful. There are some options out there for some small PCs that would be good for a living room. I'm not sure about fan noise on these but I would assume more noise given the increased power draw, steam machine may be a good quiet option.
