So we’ve gone ahead and introduced the new Raven Slim ITX Custom Gaming PC. Built upon the same case, power supply, CPU, motherboard and video card configurations as Valve’s BETA Steam Machines sent out to lucky steam users and press, this system is simply a Steam Machine without the SteamOS and controller (arguably not a Steam Machine at all) but only 2 small steps away from becoming one!
The SteamOS Beta is available for free download through steampowered.com (link) and while it’s not a Steam Controller, the Microsoft Xbox/PC controllers are fantastic, low cost, and unlike the Steam Controller, available right now (wired-link) (wireless-link).
Once SteamOS is out of beta it will be free for you to update and Steam Controllers will be sold separately, so you can jump on the Steam Machine bandwagon today, be ahead of the curve and not be totally screwed once the official steam machines are released!
