If you already have a PC you probably have no real reason to get one as you can already upgrade your existing PC for less (or more power) by reusing some parts. I suspect this is more for people that are looking to get into PC gaming or are currently using laptops.

Also, its just a PC. Loads of companies make PCs. I worked in one before, we had a staff count of 2 and the PC building was part time. Obviously valve have greater R&D funds than we did so they can afford to make their own custom form factor.

This probably will be more powerful, and a value added upgrade, for over half of Steam's users.

Brought to you by Valve. "Fuck you. I'm gaming"

Is your pc a box though? Boxes are much more stackable, in case you want even more boxes.

How do you not get it? Didn't you buy an eggs box when you were a kid? What was in it? Eggs. Now this is the same thing but with Steam. Your just pretending you don't get it.

The target audience for the Steam Box? Game developers.

Makes sense for Valve.

Yeah but the Steam Box comes with steam already inside. If you build a PC you need to get your own steam and then someone put it all inside yourself.

I dunno, that sounds like like Sisyphean task to me.

I imagine it also has conveniences like hdmi cec and turn on by pressing a button on controller. Not gonna get one, but I think there are valid reasons.
