Much has been speculated about the so-called "steam box". Now there are concrete facts from Valve. Among other things, the device now has a different name.

This more technical CES Valve and hardware manufacturers have unveiled the Xi3 "Piston". With this mini-computer, it is possible to play on their home TV PC games. The demonstrated prototype is slightly larger than an orange, and the standard version offers 1 terabyte internal memory. According to the initial facts to memory and processor be upgraded beyond.

Representatives from Valve and Xi3 are reluctant to price expectations and speak of two models to be based on the existing devices and X7A X5A. Thus, prices are from $ 999 (around 760 euros) and $ 499 (around 380 euros) in space. But notes that the small console are teeming with connections.

This has already been the prototype:

Ethernet port based on IO Board Boosting
1/8 "audio in / out
SPDIF Optical Audio
four USB 3.0 ports
four USB 2.0 ports (one is reserved for the keyboard)
four eSATAp connections
two mini display ports
an HDMI port

the grafik card and the prozessors can be upgraded its already next gen by the way normal version 1 tb 500 euro OH MY GOODNESS
but anyway you can put it on tv and open any game you want with steam big picture and stuff!

NOTE: only steam released games are possible to play with it of course

This isn't 'Steam Box', just a Micro-PC. Not even a console, really.
