Why would I want one of those?
They talk about it as if it's more upgradable than my Gaming PC, but all it can use is it's own propriety junk. My PC can handle parts from more vendors than I can count and run just about any operating system I feel like installing. Although the only one worth installing is Windows.
If your a business I can see why this might be a good choice. I can also see this as a good set media center box. But as a gaming machine it has no future.
Do I need it to be that small? No
Do I need a modular motherboard? No
Do I need a Steam Box with Linux? No
Could I build a Steam Box with Windows? Yes
Could I build it cheaper? Yes
Could I built it with more power? Yes
I'd rather build my own media center machine and I bet I could do it for less then they are asking. Their basic model is $500 and they won't even say what their high end model will cost. I could build a much cheap yet more powerful and useful PC with little effort.
