Are you getting one?

No reason to for me. Built my own computer last year, and would gladly do it again anytime. Even though it's still great I kinda want to put it in a new case and try water cooling. Once you build your own I think it can be addicting and empowering. I just don't know the place for steam machines yet since most being annonced now are too expensive for mainstream adoption required o compete with the xbox one and ps4.

the alienware one's video said it will be prices around the prices of the next gen consoles.. there is also another one there that is priced for like $500... it depends on the manufacturer really, i like the look of the alienware one, it's small, compact and reasonably priced allegedly

I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole. Only games with Linux support work under the Steam OS, the rest need to be streamed from a PC doing all the work anyway.
