Yeah but the Steam Box comes with steam already inside. If you build a PC you need to get your own steam and then someone put it all inside yourself.
I dunno, that sounds like like Sisyphean task to me.

correction: it's a cube with gaben on it
Depending on the price, I will (almost) only get it for the dbrand companion cube shell. Maybe for movies on the TV. I don't need it for gaming/desktop use.
How do you not get it? Didn't you buy an eggs box when you were a kid? What was in it? Eggs. Now this is the same thing but with Steam. Your just pretending you don't get it.
I imagine it also has conveniences like hdmi cec and turn on by pressing a button on controller. Not gonna get one, but I think there are valid reasons.
Is your pc a box though? Boxes are much more stackable, in case you want even more boxes.
The target audience for the Steam Box? Game developers.
Makes sense for Valve.
It's steam. They could sell turds with their logo on it and gamers would call it genius.
Get the wood and nails boys. Time to nail up another one.
then joe/not sure convinces the cabinet that he can talk to pcs and they need to be built a bit better.
It's good because the more linux machiness we get out there the more likely adobe is to support linux
I was so up for getting one until I heard the strategy on pricing, now I'm thoroughly disinterested in owning one, but am still hopeful that this will help open up the latest Steam OS builds for custom devices
