UK's first steam machine

[George4518]

It looks pretty nice but not particularly powerful. http://www.pcr-online.biz/news/read/uk-s-first-official-steam-machine-to-be-released-by-scan-soon/032884

 

I realised what it looks like...a WiiU.

Lol 700 pounds, way to make money.

It actually isn't bad by any means, That i3 can handle any game thrown at it, and the gpu, well that's quite good too.
DAT PRICE THOUGH.

if you use an nice MItx case like the hardon, you can still get more cost effective than that

and this children is why we cant have nice things

I don't like this whole "Steam Machine" its just SFF PC's with SteamOS, build your own. All though the specs aren't too appealling for the Scan System, I do like the case.

You could build that for 2/3rds of the price with a choice of any operating system...first and most overpriced hopefully this doesn't follow on in england haha

I don't think any of the Steam Machine hardware specs have been finalised fully yet which is why we have such crazy prices and range of pricing craziness. Perhaps when these come to market we will all be surprised, I just find it hard to believe Steam could be responsible for such a mess.

Well I just priced up a 13.3" laptop on their site and it costs £639 for something with the exact same specs and smaller size. So for £60 less you get a keyboard, monitor, WiFi and the ability to use it on the move.

 

Hopefully once Steam machines are more common companies wont try to extort the name to such a degree but for the first year or so I expect the "Steam Machine" label to cost a fortune.

700£ for an i3, seems legit

[matin94]

ill build something similar for £20

[ZetZet]

Overpriced crap.

[Kamina]

Might as well get a gaming notebook.
