Would you buy a Steam Machine for HL3 and Portal 3?

I know it's a pipe dream but if Valve made these 2 games Steam Machine only I would buy 2 of them for my house. One for me and one for my sons.

Give me HL3 and Portal 3 and take my money.

If HL3 ONLY comes out on a steam machine (which won't happen), yes without hesitation. Daddy needs his Gravity gun so he can launch saw blades through the heads of zombies and combine. Oh, and dat crowbar

Do you use SteamOS on your PC or did you buy a dedicated Steam Machine box?

Valve will never make those titles SteamOS-exclusive. But if they did, just use your existing gaming PC (or build one if you don't have one) and throw SteamOS (or some other flavor of Linux) on a separate partition for those titles. There's nothing proprietary about the hardware in "Steam boxes."

I have an HTPC / Steam box and I am about to build a new desktop.

This is the size of my Steam box. This isn't mine but it's the same case.





I've read good things about this little machine

Thinking about buying one to try out.

I really wish there was a retail market for mobile CPUs, boards, and GPUs just for builds like that. Then maybe it wouldn't cost $900 to buy a GTX 980M.

Me too. I researched around before building my HTPC and it's just too expensive to try to replicate something like that yourself.
