Valve's console.

Read the article, the things they have planned...well, if they succeed this is a game changer. The end of proprietary consoles would be interesting.

Welp.  

I dunno.

PC gaming is all about keyboard and mouse, and the challenge is to get those while sitting on your couch.  Wireless and laser mouse helps, but it is still.... different.

I don't think I see an HDMI port on that thing.  I will not buy if it doesn't have HDMI.

Gordon, not content with causing his LoL team to lose or with destroying John Carmack's career, gets Valve employees fired. He cites "lack of an HDMI port" as justification.

That aint the final one.  That is just an overpriced, underpowered pretty piece of shit that just happens to run Steam.

That appears to be made by a company other than Valve.  Article mentions the Valve one at the end.

I'm intrigued.  I mean, I have a lot more PC games than any other platform, and Steam is that platform on which I have all those games.  I mean, why sink $ into PS4/XBox and their $60/game world when I can get a machine I can upgrade when I want, and get the games I want, etc?

So, not been paying a ton of attention:

1.  Can I play any of my existing PC games on Steam?  I mean, it aint running windows.  So I am guessing no, just games I bought over steam.  But then, those are games for Windows, so maybe?

2.  Can I hook a standard keyboard and mouse to this thing?

3.  If it will play blu rays, i can see getting one of these for the mancave.  I assume it will run netflix and other streaming whatnots.
