So the first Steam Machine has been shown off and it looks awesome with some decent specifications to boot.
Thanks to The Verge we have pictures of a good looking white box with a nice light bar going all the way through the middle, it actually looks better than the PS4 and Xbox One.

It's an all AMD box with an AMD CPU and Graphics Card which could be a problem considering the reports you still see about how poor AMD's proprietary graphics driver is, I sure hope they polish it up properly in time. I haven't used AMD graphics for some time now so I can't personally vouch for how good/bad they are.
It's an official Steam Machine though and it comes with Valve's new odd-looking controller.
One thing makes me laugh:
I wonder how much testing they have done to claim that. Article taken from GamingOnLinux.com.

QuoteStill, iBuyPower says that existing Steam for Linux games should run quite well, at full 1080p resolution and 60 frames per second.

My opinion isn't going to apply to everyone since i have a new 7950 which should never stutter but the AMD drivers arn't that bad on it. Sure its nothing like the preformance the card is capable of but i don't get microstutter, input lag or any problems. Most games run max frames although my most demanding game is currently TF2 (yeah, blame the lack of AAA linux games) but overall i'm a happy customer.
Although occasionally i'm reminded of some vsync issues, i had that on windows with every amd card to date so i blame that just on traditions.
TL;DR: AMD drivers arn't as bad as people say, but could be quite a bit better too.

Quoting: Quote from liamdaweIts interesting how everyone is different. I hate when the lights are on while im looking at a screen, I find it distracting and I always turn off all the lights when I watch a movie or use the computer.Quoting: Quote from XodetaetlI hate to stare at a bright screen in the dark, it's why i very rarely go to the cinema, talk about headaches :(Quoting: Quoteit actually looks better than the PS4 and Xbox OneIt depends on tastes. For me it looks cheap and as boring as the PS4 and Xbone or any other high-tech mass market product. And that light bar must be annoyingly distracting when playing in a dark room.
I think it looks really quite something personally, I bet we will see a lot of interesting designs coming out of people though just wait and see.
