I don't think there are. I haven't really looked into the Steam Box but I bet it has a APU instead of a CPU/GPU combo. You can get good preformance from an APU but a dedicated graphics card will always dominate.

CPU: i7-4770k @4.8ghz---Motherboard: Asus Sabertooth z97---Ram 32gb Corsair Vengeance---GPU: 2 EVGA GTX 980 4gb way sli---Case: Corsair 600T White---Storage: 500gb 850 Pro & WD Black 4tb---PSU: Corsair RM1000

Steam machines sent out by Valve as tests all had discrete GPUs.

 

Also domination in performance is not a reason to get a steambox anyway, that's not what they are for.

Case: Meatbag, humanoid - APU: Human Brain version 1.53 (stock clock) - Storage: 100TB SND (Squishy Neuron Drive) - PSU: a combined 500W of Mitochondrial cells - Optical Drives: 2 Oculi, with corrective lenses.

They were made for a competitor for the console. So if people wanted to play pc games they don't have to build a machine themselves. They can just buy as small Pc that doesn't take up much space and still preforms well.

They have some tear down utube videos up now. The gpu is kind of sectioned off from the cpu from what I heard so they don't share heat as much as a regular PC is my take on it.

They definately sound interesting. If i wasn't into building machines myself i would probably get one.
