I think Steam Machines are a bit overpriced. And it looks like some parts can't even be upgraded. Steam Machines seem to be a good idea but I'm not sure where the audience is. I had my PC hooked up to my 50" TV before but I was at a serious disadvantage in CSGO. I feel many serious PC gamers are ultra competitive and would rather play on a monitor that provides a smaller input delay. I think they are targeting console gamers who want to get into PC gaming but don't want to deal with the hassle of it. How large is this audience? The Machines already shown off are pricey for the performance you get. I think a PS4 and Xbox One can out perform the cheapest ones and have exclusives to boot.
I play both consoles and my PC depending on the game so I am quite happy with what I have. I see no benefit in adding another PC even if it is a steam machine. I am interested in the controller and steam link, however.
