    Welcome back Zoe… not like you really left anyway lol!

    An Alienware console… expensive concept… but probably well worth it.

    I think the OS will be far more important than the hardware when it comes to the Steam Machines.

      Very true… but it’ll be Linux based… and probably the most stable console around… other than the WiiU XD

        I’ve never had problems with stability on my PC, what’ll make or break it for me is whether or not all my games can run on it.

          lol! My PC’s never remain stable for long… but then I think I’m a bit hard on my OS’.

            My PC is now 3 years old, never reloaded, it’s only blue screened twice – both times while playing Max Payne 3, so I blame a shitty port for that, not the PC heh.

    Is Origin PC related to the EA’s Origin?

      No, and they suck. They no longer use AMD.

    Alienware and SteamOS? All I hear is “overly expensive open source gaming PC/laptops”

    The whole idea of Linux gaming finally being a reality isn’t all that it is cracked up to be, and I was one of the people that were excited about the prospect. There are some major companies on that list, but where are the game developers and publishers? We need to see them adopt it as well!

      Agree, for Steam OS to succeed, they need EPIC, DICE and Crytek onboard at the very least.

    I have faith in Valve when it comes to design and their products. They
    definitely know what their doing in this business. Most of their games
    are brilliant, and Steam in my opinion is one of the best things around
    if you have a good internet connection. Im not saying the Steambox is
    going to take away or convert any of the console fanboys, however it
    will definitely be an awesome gadget to have if you have the money for
    it.

    Uh oh.. Gigabyte is one of the partners? Steambox just became Failbox.

      So one of the 12 partners makes the entire idea a fail?

        When your Gigabyte motherboard or GPU dies within 18 months then you will agree with me. *sets timer*

          I’m now convinced that you don’t know what a partner is. They’re not making every Steambox with a Gigabyte board, if you don’t buy a Gigabyte-made Steambox then you’ll be fine.

    Underpowered and overpriced will be the theme of the Steam Machine.
