Thought folks might be interested in this. The very knowledgeable dudes over at Gamers Nexus are giving it a thorough shake-down:

Valve Steam Machine Review: GPU & CPU Benchmarks, SteamOS Test, Thermals, Noise, and Price

Thanks, TM! A lot of people will be interested in this, I imagine.

Thanks Trail_Mystic! I was looking at this on Steam earlier, not that I'm thinking of getting it. I'll take a look at your link later.

That was one of the most interesting things I have ever watched! Like oldbroad, I won't be getting one, but so interesting.

I should have know when reading Draclvr's post that I wouldn't understand one word of this video. I watched about 5 minutes then skipped around a little and saw it was all the same (to me) gibberish and stopped watching. Oh well.

Oldbroad, I admit it - I'm a total nerd!

A good thing to be

I have a lot of respect for Steve Burke (the guy with the glorious hair) and the team at Gamers Nexus. He and his team have directly confronted big manufacturers like nVidia and AMD. They've even traveled to Taiwan to speak with representatives at ASUS to confront them on their shady equipment stat listings, customer service dealings and skewed reporting that has been happening over the last several years. They traveled to China to investigate the dark chip market. As a result they've been blacklisted from sample testing from several of those manufactures including nVidia who has been severely disappointing from an ethical standpoint, picking profit over truth and customer satisfaction. ASUS isn't too happy with them either. Despite that, Steve will not knuckle under to corporate or political pressure (which truly seems to be one and the same in today's world) and they've continued to expand their lab to do the most in-depth testing possible for the benefit of gamers and PC users in general. They walk the talk.

Wow, that sounded like a marketing piece for their channel. Honestly, I'm not affiliated with them, I don't even have long hair anymore Just a long time fan of their channel.

What ???? No long hair these days ?? What IS the world coming to

Yes, Delilah caught me unprepared
