What are you tought about it ? Will you buy one ?
only for US? Just interested to know.
btw we can add "tags" to the Steam Machines, I guess it's time to troll :D added few tags, anime, sexy, etc
Also in that image says "Made in China"

I know, there are good products from China, but putting that in a screenshot about an expensive stuff, I don't think is a good commercial idea.

I also would be interested to know if they will be available only in the US.
And can they be given away? ;)

Pretty much this. Only thing that will be good from these Steam Machines at the moment is the promotion of Linux.

For once... Alienware is actually CHEAPER than everything else!

beter this one "ORIGIN OMEGA Steam Machine" cuz it's Origin....
Comment has been collapsed.
this is such a stupid gimmick.. its just prebuilt pc's, with a 'steam' logo branded on them, to make fools think that somehow that they're something special.
Comment has been collapsed.
It's to fool console plebes that they can jump right in to PCMR with no effort, like playing on consoles. For much of PC gaming today this can be true, but computers and games still need troubleshooting and fixes now and then.

What's more interesting there are pages for the new controller and Steam Link. Both $50. And Steam VR is coming :)

Cool I added these things to wishlist :D (I also need a good internet first, for the second thing)
Comment has been collapsed.
you don't
its only LAN, not internet
just connect it to the same router your pc is connected to and you are good to go
Comment has been collapsed.
I'd prefer Steam Link, actually. I don't need another compooper.
Comment has been collapsed.
If you already have another computer, you don't need Steam Link either. It's just a dedicated box for the existing Steam In Home Streaming already built in to the Steam client.
Comment has been collapsed.
I've got a small handful of games I can't play on my laptop so yes.
Definitely go for the Alienware version. Some of the others are just too damn expensive.
Comment has been collapsed.
I don't think the Steam Machines will take off. The controller, the VR and the streaming box, maybe. But the machines are too expensive and i see no reason to buy them instead of building myself a PC. Now if they were released with Bad Rats 3 and Fortix, that would be a different story!

Those prices man, they are losing the point. I mean, in the console world, no matter how rich you are, you CAN'T get a more powerful PS4/XONE, their specs are definitive. In the PC world you don't have those limits, and yet, they are trying to sell us a PC-console like with an intel i3 for a crazy price. You can build a mini-itx machine way more powerful at the same price. This is not the console ecosystem where you have to live with whatever hardware they want, I don't see the point here. And I know they can be upgraded, but what is the point again?
$700 for a CPU: Intel® Pentium® G3220 GPU: NVIDIA® Geforce® GTX 960 2GB ? no thanks I can make a rig with an i5 and a R9 290 or a GTX 970 for that.

im sure you can but youd have to pay me to put a machine together rather than buy a pre built one, see i value my leisure time and dont gain any pleasure from putting pc's together, id find it annoying and dull and im willing to pay to avoid it, your arguments like a motorist who can service his own car thinking he represents more than about 1% of car owners, valve dont care about you theyll never sell you a prebuilt machine, they care about me who if i have the cash might be tempted to buy one of these machines, theyre attempting to compete with consoles not hobbyist gamers that upgrade their machines every 2 months

You are aware that a lot of small and medium PC shops will kiss your hand and offer building and testing PC for free if you buy anything approaching good gaming machine? Where you live businesses throw away purchases from top 5% of clients? O_o
Comment has been collapsed.
Damn, even for 1000 bucks you can build a decent pc paying only a fraction of price to ship it to you already prebuild and tested. I thought most pc hardware stores online offer such service. But hey, it must have steam and alienware logos all around, otherwise it's not worth to spit at it.

Assembling that new PC from parts:
WORST 20 - 40 MINUTES EVER!
Screw that, I'd rather pay $200 more for someone else to do it.
(no)
Comment has been collapsed.
Not sure if you are speaking in general but I don't need to pay anyone to build a PC is rather easy, its easier than Lego once you see some tutorials. So no, there is a reason why pre-built gaming PC's are not so succesfull between the community.
Comment has been collapsed.
Aye, assuming you've bought parts that are all compatible with each other, assembling the thing is literally just a matter of plugging things into the only places they'll fit.
Comment has been collapsed.
These will be painful to giveaway with only 7 days to send the gift. Also keeping track of redeeming it in winner's own living room, calculating the shipping costs towards level, etc.

Added the controller to my wishlist. Lets hope for a nice discount during the winter sale :P
But those steam-machines are way too expensive. I prefer to build the PC myself.
Comment has been collapsed.
too expensive. you can build better pcs for those prices
Comment has been collapsed.
dat English
Also, not a chance in hell. For that price, I could custom-build a more powerful PC. That shit is absurdly over-priced and there aren't even any credible reviews on their performance. This is running solely off of hype and Steam fandom. Yeah, no thanks. I don't really want a "console-inspired gaming PC".
"Gamer" gear is snake oil and I have no reason to believe Valve doesn't deal in it, as well.
EDIT: The controller looks interesting, though. That, at least, has caught my interest. If it proves to be better than the XBOX One controller, I may purchase it instead.
Comment has been collapsed.
Sadly, first reviews already said it's not very ergonomic (way too small ABXY buttons and poor quality analog stick), much less accurate than mouse in FPS and RTS games, and, what's worst, it doesn't work without batteries even when plugged into PC by cable. If they won't fix it, I can't see it gaining any traction.
Comment has been collapsed.
What? Cable controller needs batteries? What kind of power hog is that?
Comment has been collapsed.
Yeah, when I read it requires AA batteries to even work (slide 8 in controller gallery) while plugged:
I was puzzled how anyone thought it was good idea. Needing to pay weekly to use 50$ controller? What?
Comment has been collapsed.
Not true, my wired controller doesn't take batteries.
Comment has been collapsed.
Because we are talking about permanently wired controllers here, and not wireless ones with USB charging cables.
Charge and play works on Xbox with wireless 360 controllers I think. It does not on PC. Neither does the Steam controller on PC.
Comment has been collapsed.
360 wireless controller doesn't send data by cable if plugged, but it works perfectly if PC has receiving station plugged in it (which is actually very convenient as you can sit on couch far away from PC and charge controller from say wall outlet). At no point it requires extra batteries or even battery presence at all, unlike reports with Steam controller.
Comment has been collapsed.
Never heard of that. I have a pair of the controllers for my PC and just use recharagble batteries, no plug and charge kit as it has been reported useless for PC gaming. I generally sit directly next to an outlet while gaming though, so it seems like it might be worth trying depending on cable length.
Comment has been collapsed.
How? 360 wired controller is light and works perfectly off cable, wireless uses rechargeable battery pack (and still runs fine without if plugged with cable anywhere). People actually cared about not littering environment with toxic spent AA batteries over a decade ago designing them.

Don't want none of the machines but I definitely want that controller.
