Article

"The Piston is equipped with a 3.2 AMD Trinity Processor, a Radeon 7000-Series GPU, 8GB of  DDR 3 memory, a 128 GB solid state drive (upgradeable to 1 TB), three display ports (HDMI, DisplayPort and miniDP), and an assortment of USB 2.0 and 3.0 ports, adding up to total of 12. The Xi3 site also says the Piston supports the more popular operating systems, such as Windows and Linux, rather than using its own operating system like the consoles. As for whether the Piston would be compatible with SteamOS, Xi3 was optimistic but didn’t want to get ahead of itself"

I think someone needs to clear the cobwebs off this story...

$999.....

I didn't see it on here. so i thought what the hell post it any ways 

The reason you probably didn't see any is because it was discussed back when this news first broke...in March.

Was the price revealed in march?? 

It was. In fact, the article you linked to includes a link to the March story in the first line.

ahhh my bad

It happens. I probably wouldn't have noticed if I hadn't remembered; there has been next to no coverage of this for the past six months. :P

The article did include a release date, though, which is definitely new news.

On-topic, though...I can only imagine they're smoking hundred dollar bills, if they think that will sell.

is over 900@#!!... I mean 999, I mean what ?, drug addicts!
