Steam Box exists, will come in a variety of Steam Machines in 2014
"Entertainment is not a one-size-fits-all world," Valve writes. "We want you to be able to choose the hardware that makes sense for you, so we are working with multiple partners to bring a variety of Steam gaming machines to market during 2014, all of them running SteamOS."
Valve announced SteamOS yesterday, a Linux-based operating system designed to play Linux games and stream Windows and Mac games, along with other media, from a computer to the big screen. SteamOS streams over a user's home network and onto a TV using "any living room machine," as Valve put it. "Any machine" now includes the Steam Box.
Steam's Big Picture, the UI portion of a living room gaming system, entered public beta in September 2012.
Valve founder Gabe Newell has been pitching the Steam Box (in everything but name) as a device to unify mobile, desktop and living room technologies, all possible with a Linux backbone. On Monday, Valve announced that "hundreds" of games are already running in native Linux on SteamOS, and AAA titles are making their way to SteamOS in 2014.
Valve has one more announcement to make this week.

PawnStars I wonder if different designs will cost different amounts if they have the same hardware
The different design means there is different hardware in side.
The bigger the box looks, probably means it is going to cost more because they managed to fit more hardware inside.

My computer I have now has about the same specifications as the most type of the line steam box.
I plan to just keep my PC as it is just the same.

It has to be around $300 - $400 for them to make any money on the hardware they are putting into it

KatsumiPawnStarsTexans Looks very nice I might get but might be costly?
I don't think the price will be that bad, who knows though
I couldn't picture then bringing up the prices too high. I'm simply hoping that it's affordable enough to compete with some of the consoles that will be one the market at the time
It will be at a minimum of 300$ I bet

MentalistPawnStars I will be interesting to see how well this will do with the next-gen consoles out
I wonder if it would compare to the next gen consoles to be honest, it might be worse, it might be better.
spec-wise it's more powerful but it's alo coming out late 2014
