[Vandiger]

Curious about pricing, if its similar to just pre-built gaming PCs...forget it.

 

[Dead Prince]

a free titan system for beta? yes plz

 

[Gav47]

Minimum 3 GB VRAM across all systems?

 

[fierrotlepou]

So it's an expensive gaming computer. Woo? I can buy this anywhere.

Yea, I guess I can call my pc a "steambox" as soon as I have Steam OS and the controller. This all doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

 

[Omega]

450w?

I think my weak 7850 requires a 500w. how the hell does a Titan only need 450

 

[Coffee Dog]

Yes everyone, let's totally ignore the fact that there are lower end models so that we can just laugh at the Titan price point. Great discussion.

 

[ghst]

that's about the same size as an xbone.

 

[Allonym]

I think I may invest in this even though I really have no reason to. I'm not really computer literate enough to understand most of the technological mumbo jumbo being pushed around by PC elitist on these boards and throughout the internet but I really would like to try out the Steam Controller. And I'm in need of a new PC

 

[LiK]

Okay NOW I want to get into the beta. This would beat my current home desktop.

I want one too esp if Valve lets us keep it lol

 

[coolmast3r]

Dat titan model, I wonder how much?

 

[Zombie James]

Yea, I guess I can call my pc a "steambox" as soon as I have Steam OS and the controller. This all doesn't make a lot of sense to me.

That's what I'm gathering from this announcement. Any PC + SteamOS = Steam Machine.

 

[Dennis]

A titan in every pot.

 

[IcyEyes]

I'm interested ... I'm concerned ...

Can't wait to have more info !

 

[Phanatic8390]

I wonder if they would subsidize the cost of the hardware to get you into the Steam OS ecosystem.

Seems to me they could easily make back a few $100 on their software cut.

 

[Mesoian]

These ain't gonna be cheap.

Indeed. Even if sold at a loss, those are like..600 dollar machines minimum.

 

[Spwn]

I wonder if Valve is going to sell Steam Machines for a significant loss in exchange for getting people into their ecosystem.

 

[titusandronicus]

wut. This got a whole lot more interesting assuming they're trying to compete with console pricing.

The Steam box is just a normal computer with a custom OS, nothing more. It will have next to no effect on the console space.

 

[Serandur]

I wonder if Valve is going to sell Steam Machines for a significant loss in exchange for getting people into their ecosystem.

I wonder this too. These machines get quite strong, it seems.

 

[DUFFMCWALIN]

Do you have any idea how long it took me to mask out the fucking falling stones?

No but now I really want to know.

 

[Pooya]

I like to see their cases. That's dimension of the case? that's small considering what's inside.
Do titans works with 450w?

 

[Altazor]

oh man, those specs are SWEET. They won't be cheap, but still... I'd love to have one. It obliterates my current PC

 

[DangerDave]

So this is only going to be 12 inches long and 12 inches wide and its only 2.9 inches tall? That's insanely small if it's packing a Titan in it.

 

[angular graphics]

Gimme. hhhhhhhhnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnngggggggg

 

[IAmRandom31]

Not bad.

An I3 with a GTX 660 would only be about 300$ retail for that hardware. Then you have the RAM and such.

I'm expecting 300$ entry level machine, all the way up to the 1000$ range

We'll see what type of deal NVidia is giving Valve, if Valve has anything at all to do with the these machines anyway.

 

[RoboPlato]

These are gonna cost more than I expected, even for the base model. I can't believe they're actually releasing a Titan model. I wonder how loud that'll be.

 

[Kade]

Beast Machines.

 

[potam]

450w?

I think my weak 7850 requires a 500w. how the hell does a Titan only need 450

Card itself only requires 250w, but nvidia lists a minimum system power supply at 600w.

Max TDP on a 4770 is 84w.

I imagine it could get by on the 450, though I'm not sure about stability.

 

[maniac-kun]

So this is only going to be 12 inches long and 12 inches wide and its only 2.9 inches tall? That's insanely small if it's packing a Titan in it.

Next-gen cooling.

Also those boxes are the only way to get 4k gaming on your 4k tv until 2020 when the next-next-gen consoles are released.

 

[Junior Mint]

Man the people who get these for free are so lucky

 

[Baleoce]

Well now we have a much better idea of what their "Good, Better, Best" 3 tier strategy is.

 

[V_Ben]

Okay NOW I want to get into the beta. This would beat my current home desktop.

I dunno, my Macbook Air can run Fez without slowdown.

That's a lie, it chugs whenever I change angle.

 

[Lactose_Intolerant]

I thought there was going to be like a vita tv option, guess they really are just pc's.

 

[Zuhzuhzombie!!]

Well they ain't competing with the Bone/PS4 specs wise and sure as hell not price wise.

 

[Goreomedy]

Yes everyone, let's totally ignore the fact that there are lower end models so that we can just laugh at the Titan price point. Great discussion.

Who wants to get the low end model for a beta?

 

[Azzurri]

Little OT, but I hope Steam OS is an Icon on Windows I can just click and boot into Steam's OS just to play games.

 

[Atolm]

So I guess 699$ as the base price?

 

[angular graphics]

I thought there was going to be like a vita tv option, guess they really are just pc's.

There will likely still be, but it's not the one they are about to test.

 

[Americanmushroom]

Core i3? weird

 

[Anth0ny]

i'll pay $499 for the highest end model and not a dollar more

 

[avaya]

DOA

 

[OnPoint]

Price depending I'd pick this up. I need a new gaming machine as it is.

 

[Dr. Zoidberg]

None of these sound like they'll be in the $500 range. Not even in the $1000 range.

Don't forget, they are saving $99 by not using Windows.

 

[TouchMyBox]

Who wants to get the low end model for a beta?

Well, I certainly hope that people aren't complaining that they thing they might be given for free costs too much.

 

[fluffydelusions]

Core i3? weird

dota/lol machine

 

[Dennis]

DOA

Dominant On Arrival?

 

[Zomba13]

Titan?

Holy shit!

Needs Gaben's face.

 

[TheRealTalker]

nvidia titan....

so they are very close

 

[Aussie Legend]

Although I don't think a really expensive box will get them anywhere in the console market... as a laptop gamer I would buy one in a fucking heartbeat XD

 

[ComputerMKII]

I want one.

 

[SolidSnakeUS]

Pretty damn good specs. Props.
