Steam Box ?

По словам Valve, они вместе с партнерами работают над "Steam Box" (паровая коробочка), которую могут анонсировать уже на GDC. Прототип консоли уже был представлен партнерам на CES. По нашим данным, начинкой его были Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM и NVIDIA GPU. Фактически это был компьютер, способный запустить даже Origin.
Вполне вероятно, что Steam Big Picture разрабатывался именно для этих целей.

Adding fuel to that fire is a rumor that the Alienware X51 may have been designed with an early spec of the system in mind, and will be retroactively upgradable to the software.

Apparently meetings were held during CES to demo a hand-built version of the device to potential partners. We're told that the basic specs of the Steam Box include a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an NVIDIA GPU. The devices will be able to run any standard PC titles, and will also allow for rival gaming services (like EA's Origin) to be loaded up.

Part of the goal of establishing a baseline for hardware, we're told, is that it will give developers a clear lifecycle for their products, with changes possibly coming every three to four years. Additionally, there won't be a required devkit, and there will be no licensing fees to create software for the platform.
