Valve announces new Steam Machine stuff

[KillerCop311]

At the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas today, Gabe Newell was blinded by a bright future as he revealed the manufacturers working with Valve to release this year's line of Steam Machines—living room PCs which will come equipped with Valve's free, Linux-based SteamOS. The current lineup includes Alienware, Materiel.Net, Alternate, Next, CyberPowerPC, Origin, Digital Storm, Scan Computers, Falcon Northwest, Webhallen, GigaByte, Zotac, iBuyPower, and Maingear.

Along with the Steam Machines, Valve will be producing and selling the notably owl-like Steam Controller. Regarding producing its own hardware in general—including Steam Machines, perhaps—Newell said, "We'll continue to make that decision as we go along." With such a large list of third-party manufacturers, we don't expect significant news on that front soon.

More info on the article can be found here, along with some of the machines the third parties are making.

That is for that specific model from Falcon NW. The OP is a bit unclear about that.

[Aide33]

is it just me or most of the look bigger than the average size of a pc
I mean look at this

it looks huge
or is it smaller than it seems?

[SiliconCactus]

and they added a gpu that is used for gaming and computing and is $300 more than the best gaming gpu because of it

wtf

All right nerds, for those of you who DON'T know, there are a ton more, and some starting at $500. Here's an image of a lot of them:

CyberPower is offering Steam Machine A using AMD and Steam Machine I using Intel and Nvidia graphics. The I will pack a Core i3-4330 and GeForce GTX 760 while the A will run a Radeon R9 270 and A6-6400K part. Both will come with a controller, 500GB HDD and 8GB of RAM. The A will run $500 while the I will hit $700.

From maximum pc's post.

the alienware one has a really nice design
too bad it's gonna cost like 10000$

I'm quite confused on what exactly this is, is it just a computer running on Steam OS and with a controller? Would I just be better off building my own PC?
