Re: RUMOR: Valve working on 'Steam Box' Gaming Console
I'm still trying to decide whether I want to get an Alpha, a Steam Machine, or build my own mini ITX machine. Building my own means I can build something at the same price but with better performance, but even an ITX machine won't fit nicely in my TV stand without making some adjustments. (I want this as an HTPC so fitting into my TV stand is essential.) The Steam Machine or Alpha definitely will fit in my TV stand, and they come prebuilt so I don't have to worry about that junk, but the performance to price ratio isn't good. Prebuilt definitely appeals to me since I have very little technical knowledge, and I am very worried I will mess something up if I try to build my own. It's a tough decision.

We received our Steam Controller today. Initial impressions are the build quality is pretty good although not as good as a PS4 or XB1 controller. Game testing is in progress. More reviews to come.

Performance apparently isn't so great compared to Windows at the moment.
