Step 1.) Build your own computer. 

Step 2.) Build a cheap secondary computer. 

Step 3.)  Get super fast home network.

Step 4.) Use  cheap secondary computer as steam box while first computer does rendering.

----------------------------

Save 100s of dollars and still get all benefits of a steam machine. 

...Or just get a super cheap PC. The cheapest I've seen recently are like 200€, which should in practice translate to about $200. If you're going to stream games to it anyway, there's no point in investing more than you have to.

What? 

That's step 2.  If you're streaming, you need something to stream from.  Steam machines play the game the same way an expensive computer does.  

I'm saying that you could get a cheap PC and a gaming PC and get every single benefit that a steam machine provides and more, and still save money.  

Oh wow, I really read that wrong. >_> I somehow managed to read that you suggested getting a cheap Steam Machine as a secondary computer, which obviously is not what you said. Sorry, my bad!
