THEY ONLY THING YOU DUMB NIGGERS CAN'T SEEM TO UNDERSTAND IS THAT THEY CREATED THE OPERATION SYSTEM CALLED "STEAMOS" THAT IS USED IN THE STEAM MACHINES. YOU GUYS MUST BE EXTREMELY RETARDED TO THINK THAT VALVE CREATED ANY OF THESE.

Steam Machine initiative is exciting because it's the first step to a future of Steam Sales on hardware, and the magic phrase 'budget gaming prebuilt'.

PCMR can cry as much as they want, there's really nothing wrong with prebuilts, especially when the price is being driven down to the point they can be replaced rather than upgraded (ok, there are a LOT of problems with this ethically/environmentally, but that's beyond our scope).

VR is about to make specification comparisons confusing and terrifying on a whole new level, the availability of 'just works' prebuilts will be more relevant and necessary than you might imagine. and meanwhile it's still a PC.

SteamOS operates on the basis of streaming games from your powerful PC in your bedroom or whatever to the Steam Machine in your living room, right?

Demand is too high. You're better off grabbing parts in july/august, when demand is in the shitter. Take a month or so to shop for the parts, pricing around averages.

That monday is good for finding that ONE piece of hardware you've been meaning to get as an upgrade, but building an entire machine it's usually shit.
