Cyber Power Steam Machine
Update: All pricing, designs and specs have now been posted for third-party Steam Machines.
With CES taking place this week there’s plenty of hardware news to get stuck into and the long awaited reveal of who will be making third-party Steam Machines has been revealed.
Twelve manufacturers have shown their backing of the Steam Machine concept and these are:
- Alienware
- Falcon Northwest
- CyberPowerPC
- Origin PC
- Gigabyte
- Scan Computers
- Materiel.net
- Webhallen
- Alternate
- Zotac
CyberPower also revealed their specs and pricing of their Steam Machines and they come in two flavours.
CyberPowers Machine A

CyberPowers Machine B

These are the first manufacturers to show hands and no doubt as the year rolls on we’ll see more companies coming on board.
I am still not convinced of the hardware specs and pricing, they are not exactly cheap for a gaming machine that’s going to sit in your living room. We’ll have to wait and see if the new Steam Machines will be embraced by gamers but with a large choice of manufacturers it’s not going to make it easy.
