If you're spending that much on 8TB of SSD's you're getting ripped off cause in Canada that would be 3000$ which in your money would be €2208.47

The guy posted in Euros for a reason. I guess he's in the EU. EU has different tax schemes. Once you slap on their high import tariffs and sales tax, you'll see why you can't use Canadian price to approximate.

Actually you can just you're one of the many few that can not compare much when it comes to system components.

OP the thing is here, the only reason Steam is doing this is to break into the console market, we arent talking people who like to put things together.. were talking lazy technologically inept people who actually buy consoles in 2015.. because reasons like loading steam and starting a game apparently take too long.. and their girlfriends like consoles, not computers.

There is a lot of butthurt among this crowd when they are told by the PC master race how ignorant it is to buy a console when you can get a more powerful PC for less money with free multiplayer online and full computer ability etc..

These boxes are purely for that crowd, I wouldnt doubt the goal isnt even for them to be totally successful but to make console gamers understand what they are missing and then force them into buying a real computer for a better value next time.

I might add, one thing these people supposedly rush to defend themselves with is that its not just a money issue, its not about being too poor to buy a computer and needing a couple hundred dollar console to fill the gaming gap... so if its not about a lack of money, they shouldnt mind ponying up for a 2000$ console no? Thats what gaming PCs cost... or 2.5x that.

I have two custom built PC's (that I built) and I've also bought consoles in the last year or two... I know it's shocking to the people that can't seem to fathom that power doesn't always = fun, but their are quite a few games PC's dont have that I enjoy even though their not as pretty as new shiny PC games. I don't understand people like you who seem to have this ax to grind against people who prefer to do their hobby differently than you.

Its a con, decent components, over inflated charges, it WILL backfire.

But my question is why ?

Regular prebuilds save money in the following sequence: Quality, ergonomics, performance.

While everyone who builds their own pc knows that it should be the other way around.:
When you are on a budget, you first save money on performance, then on ergonomics, and almost never on quality.

I would never go the prebuild route, because someone who has always build their own, knows that even the choice of coolingpaste for the cpucooler will make a huge difference. And we are talking about 5 or 6 dollar/euro here.

But I don't think the OP has to worry about steam being steamOS only. There are some big titles that are crossplatform, but most games rely on directX, which is Windows only. ( yeah Wine does some directX9, but still).

Not even 1 percent of tthe Steam customers will buy a steam machine. When their core business is selling software/games, they can't afford going steamOS-only for the obvious reasons.

I think we are all missing the point here. These are boxes. Very very Fancy boxes. Boxes that allow me to go beep boop bop and then enjoy media and games. That means I am going to throw my money at it blindly and praise it as a god. I understand not what magic allows me to access these "consoles," but I for one will not anger the gods who have bestowed this gift upon me. I sacrificed my first born for Wifi in 2002 (Over 5 milenia ago) and I won't let my world go to black now... Blackberry that is. We've come too far. Iphone 20? I'll buy it, even though it'll probably just get worse and bigger. Hawk built "Steam Machine"!? I'll buy it, cause I am a naive white black man whose first built computer burned his office space. A ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ XBOX 420BLAZEIT!? I'll buy that ♥♥♥♥ just so I can smoke the dankest weed with it... and watch cable, cause that is what i buy my xboxs for?... Think it's time we just need to accept that we're all slaves to corporate powers, who see us as numbers. I'm ok with that though... because I like Starbucks...

The thing is a market must have a range of products to give customers, there are plenty of ways of getting a cheap PC, steam machines or building your own, or just going to a PC shop and buying one but for the cheap ones there must be ridiculous ones to, because some people have a ton of cash! (and no sense)

I got lazy and bought a prebuilt acer 3ghz dual core with 8gb of ram for $500. Later I bought an evga gtx970 to replace the hd6450 vid card it came with and put it in there. I already had an old 800 watt power supply to replace the one it came with and it cost me about $50 used. This computer runs all games on ultra settings. It still costs less than $1000. $2000-$5000 for a computer is overkill. Even if your doing 3D gaming, 2d/3d graphics dev, music production and web dev like me. Just saying............ good luck with that.

This thing is not interesting me also, in a few years we will have a steam software which only runs if you buy these boxes so no, keep your stuff.

I agree, I can't comprehend that they really thought that it would sell and make them any profit, it'll probably even destroy their economy.

Some people say they just do it to break into the console market... Really? People who buy consoles are people who can't afford a gaming system because it costs alot and it needs replacement every 2-3 years when some part dies or new gaming engines come along, unlike console. With any computer you can have a controller and use it as a console while sitting in your sofa gaming on your TV... If Steam wanted to enter the console market they already did that with the Steam OS, not by creating these highly overpriced machines. Gamers nowadays aren't just gamers, we are people that know how to build a PC and the ones who don't, let other people do it for them via hardware forums, people with reputation who love to help for no money. This will bankrupt VALVe.

You are aware Valve (or Steam, as you call them) doesn't make these 'machines', right?

It doesnt matter if they "Make them" Alienware(Dell) doesnt make LCD's, Or the intel chips, or the Nvidia cards that they sell in their PC's Either.
But the procure the parts and sell them to their consumers.

Valve has done the same thing here. They have signed a deal with FNW to buy X number of machines with X components for X$ each and are marking them up by X$ to sell to the suckers who will buy them. And judging by the response in the community.... There are enough stupid people on here to make BOTH Valve and FNW very happy about this arrangement.

we dont know vavle has signed any deal what so ever i dont think Vavle even buys these machines they are just giving them free PR as it will run steamOS
