    There’s an LED strip, y’all!

    Cool, I hope they keep that idea. 😀

    Anyways it all depends on price/performance is good.
    Previous attempts at 3rd party Steam Machines were not good in that regard.

      Have you heard of the Steam Deck? Things aren’t the same as they were ten years ago.

        What a moronic question to ask on a Steam Deck sub?
        Of course I have, and Steam deck was priced very aggressively, but info on who makes this Steam Machine and how it will be priced is 100% absent here.
        There was a pretty massive attempt at launching steam machines years before Steam Deck, and that it didn’t go well.

        https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steam_Machine_(computer)

        Following a two-year testing period, Steam Machines and its related hardware were released on November 10, 2015. By 2018, many Steam Machine models were no longer offered on the Steam store.

        How does that raise the question whether I’m aware of Steam Deck???

          Have you heard of irony? Especially considering the sub this is in, I thought it would be obvious.

            I don’t understand the purpose of that, or how that would be irony.
            Looks just like a dumb comment to me.

      The LED strip? It’s on the units that have already been tested and demo’d. What looks really interesting is the (presumably optional) front panel display that shows machine vitals. I’ve only seen that mentioned on some articles and videos.

      I saw that area and secretly hoped for an optical drive slot, not that it would ever happen.
