First sightings of a "Steam Box"!

[SgtFury]

All over the game sites at the moment but thought I would link here. Seems like Valve and Xi3 have collaborated together on a PC the size of a grapefruit!

SAid to have 60 gigs of RAM though. Costing $6000.

That price is rather unlikely.

That price is rather unlikely.

It's a full computer, with high high end parts and all compressed into a box smaller than a Gamecube.

In what universe do Personal Computers cost $6000 (£3800)?

 

[Gombol]

In what universe do Personal Computers cost $6000 (£3800)?

I shall turn your question around:

In what universe does a Personal Computer have 60 gigs of a Ram?

My Universe ... and significantly more for high end servers.

/cringe into the shadows

I expanded PC to exclude business/RnD


That said, I am not remotely envious of a home pc with that weight. Gief.

Looks like they are going to work with a few different hardware suppliers not just this company.

If you go into that one version a bit further they are doing 3 different specs of it so there would be cheaper versions.

60 GB of RAM with a price tag of $6000?!

You are joking, right?

This thread makes me seriously doubt the validity of Orange's "The future is bright" slogan.

Was said on a video a freind showed me yesterday.

[mod]At least, give us time to check the forums. Some of us have day jobs... -J.[/mod]

 

[Wol]

But everyone knows you don't have any freinds.

Spoiler

Mainly because it's "friend" not "freind". One of the reasons I didn't like you in the first place shows again. Your spelling is still appalling. Please learn to spell Gombol. I have, and you really should too.

This is why I didn't want to be a Junior admin on here <3

I LOVE ALL YOU GUYS, well... except noms..... and one other.

But I wont name names ;-)
