Alienware Alpha is the first Steam Machine but it runs Windows, and comes with a normal Xbox 360 gamepad
2014-08-13 15:01:36| Extremetech
Alienware has announced that its Steam Machine -- the Alienware Alpha -- will be available in November for $550.

In fact, the Alienware Alpha is basically just a mid-spec Windows 8.1 PC that boots straight into Steam Big Picture Mode. Considering Steam Machines were meant to usher in a new era of Linux-based living room game consoles, with a magical gamepad that makes PC games playable from your couch, what exactly is Alienware playing at?

Valves Steam Machine torn down, reveals expensive, well designed, easily upgradable gaming PC
2013-12-19 19:15:43| Extremetech
Those dastardly devils at iFixit have managed to get their mitts on one of Valve's 300 Steam Machine prototypes and, of course, torn it down. Inside is a quad-core Haswell Core i5-4570, a Zotac GTX 780 graphics card, 16GB of Crucial Ballistix Sport (PC3 12800) RAM, and a 1TB 5400 RPM Seagate hard drive. If you wanted to build your own SteamOS-powered doppelganger, it would set you back around $1300 to match Valve's Steam Machine part-for-part.
