I still think that, whatever the price bracket one chooses, the best value Steam Machines will be the ones that users assemble (or makes someone else assemble for them) choosing the best offers they can get for the components and installing Steam OS on them. Probably besides Windows and a general purpose Linux distro as I usually do, I'll put SteamOS too in multi-boot on my next PC. Probably I'll have Android subsystems too running on Windows and generic distro, so to have all that's needed to slowly and smoothly switch away from Windows, as sooner or later it will become legacy itself.
