This is going to be crazy, so far it has been reported that Valve has already signed up 12 manufacturers to create Steam Machines, holy cow!
Here's me thinking we will have 4 or 5 top and engadget has come out with a list of 12 that have apparently signed up to make them:

All should be revealed shortly as CES is only a day away where companies usually announce their new kit. Although Valve actually has a press conference at around 5PM PT (1AM GMT for us brits!) so who knows what could be announced today!
If more boxes come out looking like the iBuyPower one I will be happy, we covered that here for those that missed it.
What are you hoping Valve will announce directly, or do you think it will be a general get excited for Steam Machines kind of thing press talk? Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteThus far, the only third party we know of that's making a Steam Machine is iBuyPower -- today, that all changes. Alienware, Falcon Northwest, iBuyPower, CyberPowerPC, Origin PC, Gigabyte, Materiel.net, Webhallen, Alternate, Next, Zotac and Scan Computers are among the first companies signed on to support Valve's initiative

Quoting: Quote from BumaDigital storm. one of the manufacturer has already announced they will make a dual boot machine, so it has windows and steam os and thus they can call it a steam box. Reality will be that users will probably use windows then to run steam on in big picture mode since all games are supported natively.As Liam pointed out elsewhere, it shouldn't even qualify as a Steam Machine, considering it is not shipping with SteamOS *or* a Steam Controller... It's just a Windows PC with the Steam Machine label. No Controller, no optimized gaming OS. I'm sorry, but, "well, later on we will put SteamOS on it too, and include a Controller, I guess..." is pretty damn lame. For what reason would they be shipping it this month, as-is, with just Windows on it? It's just stupid and pointless. Why would anyone buy one of these, if they actually want a Steam Machine? There is no reason.
I'm still debating which one I will buy, if I do in fact buy one instead of building one myself. But one thing is for sure: Digital Storm is out, due to their complete lack of commitment to the entire concept of Steam Machines.
Okay, two things are for sure: OriginPC is also out of the running. I'm not buying anything with Windows on it.
