It's smaller, it has build-in wireless steam controller/frame/deck connector, iirc it switch on your tv when you turn on the machine, it has minimal amount of programmable LED, and it's powerful enough to play the latest release. The form factor alone is quite enticing, building my own pc with the same spec probably will be a lot more bigger.

Have they announced a price yet?
Nope, it's fucking hilarious how they already go crazy about the price and the bad stats with nothing concrete being announced yet.
Funny meme, but I would genuinely worry for the people who don’t understand the value proposal of a pre-built, console-like PC for Steam gaming. We will see if it’s worth it based on price and specs later, but the logic is definitely there, especially with MS, Sony and Nintendo dropping the ball so much.
I saw someone complain that there weren't enough customisation possibilities with the Steam Machine. As if they couldn't just build it however they want right now.
As a PC Linux gamer I hear you...I really do, but listen...I really just wanna stick something Steambox-esque on my face and finally have a smooth open source VR experience.
I'm really looking forward to that.
And I know when they announce it, it'll probably be way out of reach for me, but I'm still looking forward to it lol.
Steam box
It's got what nerds crave!
Damn it, beat me to it. Though I was going to say gamers instead of nerds, though both work.
I like the idea that it's a targetable hardware profile personally.
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.
