The Alienware Steam Machine is a perfect introduction to the exciting future of gaming.
Who needs discs when you can enjoy gaming straight from the internet – much like the music business was transformed by streaming, now everything is coming straight into your home. The days of heading off to the shops to buy the latest game or waiting for it to arrive in the post are coming to an end.
The Steam Machine also evolves constantly, with updates improving and fine tuning all the time – so get ready to step into an exciting new world and experience the future.
Enjoy gaming in the comfort of your living room but with better frame rates at higher resolution than other consoles. You also get the future-proofing upgradeability options of a PC, with a 4th generation Intel® Core™ i3 processor and 8Gb of DDR3 RAM memory already included. You also get a 1Tb (1000Gb) hard drive for all your storage needs.
It comes with a 2Gb NVIDIA® GTX 860M GPU based on the new Maxwell architecture that ensures your Alienware Steam Machine performs similarly to the NVIDIA® GeForce® GTX 860M, and has plenty of power to propel your gaming experience to new heights.
Alienware have joined forces with Valve to custom-build a machine designed around perfecting the experience of Steam OS. The small footprint and whisper-quiet operation mean it fits easily into your lounge too.
There are already over 1000 games to download via the Steam network, including titles such as BioShock Infinite, Metro: Last Light, Team Fortress 2, Civilization V and Shadow of Mordor. There are FREE games to enjoy (including PAYDAY 2 2015 GOTY Edition, due early 2016), as well as exclusive downloadable content for Alienware customers. You can even stream your PC games through your Steam Machine!
Take total control of your game with the Steam Controller (included) featuring customizable functionality to suit the way you like to play.

No review required, just consider the graphics solution supplied for gaming, build a better self build system.

Graphics are 860m not 8600m description is wrong... Just for clue, It's able to run gta v with 60fps.
I'd keep my console (if I had) playing on living room and build a very budget mini/micro itx for indie steam games. If you have no system for gaming, ideally a good machine. It's got mobile processor and graphics to let you know.
8600m was 512 mb there was no 2gb vram on any graphics card at 2007 :smiley:

Wanted one of these, but they don't seem that good at the mo.
You're locked into Steam OS n apparently a lot of new top end games aren't compatible yet (runs on Linux).
Will hold off till base unit gets cheaper and hopefully processor, gpu n ram can be switched out over time.
I assume as it's just a mini pc that switching em out is possible?
Not voting btw, runs a 1000 games right off the bat ain't bad, but £400 starting price is a tad expensive.

Can these things run the Rift? I couldn't build my own as I'm, as the kids say, a noob! I'd love to try VR though

Is it possible to install Kodi on steam OS?

Only if it's a Steam app. You can search for it on Steam on your pc. If not, you can request for it to be added. Other than that, you'd have to dual boot it alongside Steam OS.

Not by a long stretch, you'd need 10 of these to power the Rift but also it doesn't run/come with Windows so you're limited in the number of games that run on Linux. I'm trying to think what it's good for but can't think of anything, maybe you want a quiet PC in your living room?
