The Valve Steam Machine runs desktop SteamOS, a Linux distribution, and ships in a console-like form factor with the intent for use as a living room PC or mini PC. The Machine ships at $1050 for a 512GB model and $1350 for a 2TB model, so we have DIY PC price comparisons included. Our testing of the Steam Machine benchmarks gaming performance, GPU performance, framerate (FPS), CPU performance, compression and decompression, thermals, acoustics, and more. We also look at SteamOS in-depth and at BIOS, power draw, and more in our in-depth Steam Machine review.
