pc buid Steam Machine Beta Console Build!

[iamcore]

Budget (including currency): $1200

Country: United States

Games, programs or workloads that it will be used for: AAA games

Other details (existing parts lists, whether any peripherals are needed, what you're upgrading from, when you're going to buy, what resolution and refresh rate you want to play at, etc): I’m not to sure what is inside atm but I plan on looking up what’s exactly inside the Steam machine to make sure. 

Hey everyone! First time posting here and I have sort of an odd question for everyone here. 
 

I am in possession of a steam machine beta console that was given out to only around 300 people. My brother entered the sweepstakes that happened in 2013 and ended up being one of the lucky ones to actually win one. 

 

My question to you is what can I actually do with it now? Is there any way that I can upgrade this thing and maybe turn it into something of an updated gaming pc? Is it too far gone that no new tech will actually be able to fit inside of it? 
 

I think it would be a cool little project to work on and have as a second gaming PC since it really hasn’t been touched since 2014. 
 

Let me know what you guys think or if there is any more information that I need to give to be able to help. 
 

Thank you!

You surely could. Seems like it's made of off the shelf components. So as long as you keep in mind the small form factor while buying components, it should be easily upgraded.
