New Steam Hardware

[kitler53]

You can now. It wasn't the case just a week ago.  

okay, then i think comparisons that exclude OS costs are pretty valid for the steam machine then.   but yeah, in general PC builds usually leave that out and that is a pretty significant cost to building a PC.  

I have a nice gaming PC, but I feel like there are too many "distractions". 

we already have a bad stuff thread to discuss that...

[Legend]

let me guess,  that build doesn't include things like a case or power supply?  ..and of course doesn't have features like being able to wake up from the controller?

so a typical PC build that is full of BS..

They included everything in the price I believe. But it did draw more power.

Also they showed suspend and resume, it did that even better than valve's.

I think the only feature it lacked was hdmi cec. Prob was louder and def was a worse form factor.
