You can pre-order the first official Steam Machines starting today
In case you haven't been closely following the Steam Machine saga, Valve first unveiled its vision of living room domination -- high-powered PCs running a special Steam-flavored version of Linux -- in September 2013. Anyone can shove a PC into a sleek box and proclaim its chops as a seriously console competitor (and we've seen a few already), but really, it's about time these things emerged from the vapor. Up for pre-release grabs right now are rigs from Alienware and CyberPower, which start at $449 and $499 respectively. That base model Alienware Steam Machine will pack a dual-core Intel Core i3-4130 chips, along with 4GB of DDR3 RAM, a 500GB hard drive and a (mostly unspecified) NVIDIA GeForce GTX graphics card with 2GB of GDDR5 memory. Meanwhile, you'll spot one of Intel's Core i3-4160 chips and a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 lurking away in CyberPower's poorly named Syber box, not to mention the same (relatively paltry) 4GB of RAM and 500GB hard drive.
Normally you'd have to wait until November 10 to pick all these goodies up, but some immediate pre-order action might mean you'll get your Steam Machine a full month ahead of everyone else.

-GoldCoast- Ive been looking at these since first announced, they really do look sick!
Yea they look sick but they won't perform sick, you'll get a much better PC if you just build it yourself.

These things are as bad as shitty pre-builts like Alienware and what not IMHO. You can still build something similar, or better for a lower/similar price tag.

im probably not going to purchase this until i know they are a rock solid product.
Just sit back and wait for the reviews to come in.

Arzua I think most people would just prefer building their own PC.
For sure, it is a better off option, I think Valve just made this for some extra $$$

Breweerr Ehhhhh basically would be buying another gaming pc in which I made mine and I love a PC setup one of the main reasons I got a pc is to get away from crappy console tv crap. But might be worth the money I plan on waiting and seeing some reviews once released completely.
Actually good point, im not going to buy one untill reviews are out, but non biased views for sure.
