Steam Machine
Hardware platform
The Steam Machine is a small form factor gaming computer by Valve, designed to operate SteamOS and the digital Steam storefront, and provide a home game console-like experience. Unlike Valve's previous attempt with the original Steam Machine concept, where it had established minimum specifications for other hardware vendors to build towards, the new Steam Machine is manufactured directly by Valve, though users may still build their own equivalent using SteamOS.
