Quoting: dmantioneRemeber that in a box like the Alienware Steam Machine you are extremely thermally constrained.

Yeah, you're right. It's something I was going to mention, but the article was long enough already. It's one of the advantages of the newer generations of hardware that they have less power draw and temperatures, but if they're making something really small then they would need some sort of custom heatsink for something like a 1060 I assume, probably with a blower design so the inside of the case doesn't get too hot.

Apparently, underclocking even slightly improves temperatures a lot, so that might be a good option as well.

Quoting: meraco750$ for a sub-par gaming PC.

I can't believe I'm agreeing with Meraco for once.

I feel honestly that this new generation of Nvidia cards could breathe new life into Steam Machines. Equipping them with GTX 1060s which should have the power of a 970-980 but more compact and less power consumption... I just hope they stop kitting these things out with overpowered CPUs, i7s are nice, but if you're trying to make an affordable mass-market console, it adds little in terms of power/performance ratio.

Once Laptop65 gets put in his place as well, then we can all rejoice. In some senses he's worse considering he's on the payroll of a few devs.

Everyone please report this clown. A few days away from the Steam forums might prompt him to evaluate his life and seek help.

Quoting: liamdaweSince people are interested, I might do a small limited run of the cups in future :)

I'd be interested in one too. Maybe you should try Red Bubble or something so you wouldn't have to take care of shipping yourself.
