PC developer iBuyPower has revealed the first image of their prototype Steam Machine and it’s a rather unexciting white box.
However it is the insides that count and the prototype includes a multicore AMD CPU, an AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card, a 500 GB hard drive, bluetooth and Wi-Fi capabilities, all wrapped up in the new Steam OS.
The system is said to be able to run all Steam titles in 1080p resolution at 60fps and has a price tag of $499 (plus tax, one would assume).

Looks like a ham sandwich bought from a trailer that’s a little too close to Chernobyl. :-/

Looks like a ps4 but not slanted.
I’m keeping an eye on this, am interested indeed. Looks sexy

I have just realised how the Steam logo at the correct angle can look a little like a gents member. Just saying.

Hmmm. If you think that’s normal, might I suggest a visit to your registered physician? ;)

Having read the rest of the comments, it seems like you’re not the only one. Either I lack imagination, or there are a lot of guys out there who have to walk funny…

Very nice. I can’t quite see the pattern etched on top, is it the steam logo or a knob?

Got a bit of a ‘HAL 9000’ look about it there…

It will only be able to run the ones that support linux, no?

Am I the only one to notice that the insignia on top of the box looks like a blokes genitals?

I thought i saw this with a green light somewhere, must have different indicator states?

There’s two different models, one called “Gordon” and the other “Freeman”. Both are identical apart from the colour of the light strip.
