Valve's Steam Machine could be its biggest hardware release yet—but fans are eager to know the price.

Half-Life fans are in a frenzy over the prospect of a Half-Life 3 announcement that there's (almost) no good reason to believe is happening

From the way Valve is spinning the discussion around the specs, I'm inclined to believe this mini PC will be good enough.

GamesRadar

Steam Machine is "a console that refuses to admit it's a console," analyst says, but "Valve isn't trying to beat Sony or Microsoft at their own game so much as rewrite the rules"
