Makes me wonder if there will be a whole new market for designing steam computer cases, not counting your standard mAtx and mini ITX cases that are already out there.
The controller looks really nice and everything in a wooden box is quite cool.
Although the actual Steam Machine looks pretty disappointing to me. Forgive me for thinking this, but my thoughts were, "Congratulations, you've unboxed a VCR in a wooden crate."
Still, anyone who got to be one of the 300 users is still pretty lucky.
I think it has already started.Makes me wonder if there will be a whole new market for designing steam computer cases, not counting your standard mAtx and mini ITX cases that are already out there.
Do the beta testers get to keep the hardware?

What do you mean free hardware for 300 users?
I think it's a great way of testing the machines but let's not lose our minds here.
what 300 dots are yall talking about?

It looks better than the Xbox One to me :/
I wonder how noisy it is though, the Xbox One is king there, the PS4, not so much.
Maybe. They probably want some or all of the machines back to get data and feedback. This is a test after all.
Can i call it the S-box?
Boy these things are going to be expensive.

these prototypes aren't for sale
I mean the finished product.

They send that data back over the internet.

You can't have all the data on the hd sent over the internet. Well, you could but it's not very practical. Also people can do modifications to these systems.
Why would they need all the data on the HDD back? That wouldn't be useful or efficient.
Which one?
Maybe people have changed the partitioning, modified the os or even replaced parts of it. They want to see what's done?
Any of them.

"There's lots of telemetry built in to a really granular level," in the prototypes Valve is delivering to select gamers who are competing for a beta-testing role and developers, Coomer said. That technology will send home information about how the machines are being used like which buttons are being pushed, which games are being loaded, or if users swap out hardware.
These machines have telemetry built into them
and there's a bug tracker for the testers.
Are there any SteamOS vs Windows OS speed comparisons around yet?
The PS4 is almost silent.
