Dunno, but it sure looks like STEAM wants to obliterate SONY's and MS's consoles :D


/e Hell, may even kill the "Gaming" Desktop PC ^^

For all those who DIDN'T read the article....

The first pictures of Valve’s prototype Steam Machine are surprising to say the least. With a chassis that’s absolutely miniscule—for a system with a GTX Titan and standard desktop processor—it seems that Valve has been busy designing a custom case with a plastic shroud that ensures that each component in the machine is separate from the rest.

The Seattle Times did a little sleuthing of its own and has learned that SteamOS won't prevent users from getting into the nitty gritty of Linux or from loading Windows onto the machine.

Imagine that being compatible with an Optical Rift or a steam box version of the Optical Rift.

That might be the prototype specific G.P.U., but I bet that it could have a lower end G.P.U. for mass production.

gotta remember that when STEAM buys it's GPU's it'll be buying like a cpl hundred thousand of them...they will get serious discount.


/e When ya only buy 1,2,3, or 4 TITANS....NO DISCOUNT FOR YOU !!!
