Today at 6pm (GMT) the second countdown came to an end and as the result, Valve announced the Steam Machines.
This is the 2nd announcement out of the 3 as teased earlier (Thread about the teaser: LINK).
The 3rd announcement will take place in 2 days yet again.
The only thing I can think of now is one of the sequels being revealed.



Just like we all expected Valve is bringing us the Steam Box however the official name isn't revealed yet but
they are referred to it as Steam Machines.



These new machines will be available for purchase in the beginning of 2014 and there will be a variety to chose
from and they will be made by various manufactures. All of the prototypes for the lucky 300 beta users will be
shipped for free this year! Valve also mentions that the machines will be hackable so that you will be able to put
your own OS on it if you wish to do so. Even though the machine will be more oriented for the
living room/TV experience you are still welcome to use your beloved mouse and keyboard. Valve said that during
the beta program all of the users will be allowed to post pictures of the systems and all of the content they wish to.
The idea behind the beta program will be to assist Valve with their decisions for both the OS and the
machines themselves so that they can tweak and adjust anything that will come out unsatisfactory during
the beta test.

Just like Valve explains in the Question section of the page "A small number of users (30 or less) will be
chosen based on their past community contributions and beta participation." which seems like a fair
thing to do so that they are assured to receive a valid feedback from people that have already helped
them in the past.

You can apply to get one before October 25th. Also Valve answered some of the questions you guys may
have so do visit the site to read up on them. For more information and on how to apply for one of
these systems visit the "Source" link below!

What I think of this:
Despite the fact that we aren't faced with any specifications and images of the "Steam Machines" just like 2 days ago with the reveal of Steam OS, we can sleep tight since 'Steam Box' is a thing and it's coming sooner that, at least I, anticipated. In my opinion Valve has takem a lot of good steps with both of the reveals making them as open to public as possible which effectively will bring more attention onto the subject as well as help to build up the hearts of the fans before the initial release of the machines and the operating system. The fact that they mention that hacking the machines is a thing and they don't mind it isn't all that surprising considering the fact that either way there would be someone that would find a way around any restrictions that Valve would make. The one thing that caught my eye but to some may not be too surprising is that fact that the system will be upgradable and openable meaning that Valve is trying to reduce such restrictions that we find on the consoles and still keep the core idea of it being a computer, however still providing a ready-to-go solution for the less geeky or console guys that will consider purchasing the beast Personally I only have my computer in the room and no TV but if Valves idea blooms with vibrant colours I may consider getting a TV and a Steam machine so that I can enjoy the controller experience from my bed

Repost of a repost of a repost

So today Valve announced the Steam Boxes and is set to revolutionise the living room with access to many PC games whilst being able to relax on your couch. Last year Valve released big picture which aimed to merge the living room and your gaming rig together, with varying amount of success; this new device however sets to change that. It is most likely going to run Valve's SteamOS announced on Monday which is set to launch in Q1 2014 with various launch titles to accompany it. Windows based games will be able to be played through streaming, however this may introduce latency and other users may not even be able to stream games to their Steam box. This might not be holding the Steam Boxes back as Gabe Newell released a statement saying that "Linux is the future of gaming". As for the release date for the Steam Boxes itself, it should be available before the end on 2014.

does this mean the end of high-end AMD CPUs?
 
or does it mean that are just going to put there high-end CPUs on the FM2 socket and just add a small GPU on and call it an APU
Well I don't know but I was a AMD fan boy for a long time when I had no money so I hope they can keep putting out high-end CPUs even if they aren't on par with Intel's 

Super Mario World. Still own it on the Wii
also Star Fox 64 also on Wii
