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.

Breading lol what's the point in different shapes?
Like it said in the article, "one size doesn't fit all" when it comes to gaming. Depending on their gaming setup and how much they game, the size of the box plays a roll in this. If they are a big gamer they will most likely have a big setup and will be better off getting one that suits their needs.

Looking pretty good. I remember seeing the rumors about this months ago but I might get one of these to try out once they release them.
