It seems as though if you're interested in picking up a Steam Machine for your living room, you will only have third party options to choose from.
In speaking with various media outlets, Gabe Newell said that Valve has no current plans to release a first-party Steam Machine to the public.
Steam Machine/SteamOS designer, Kassidy Gerber, expanded a bit on what Gabe said earlier.
With the cheapest of the third party offerings starting at roughly $500 (USD), do you really think the Steam Machine is going to gain momentum with mainstream audiences?

I dont know if it will gain momentum. I think it could with a certain group market, but listening to the casual channels (radio, geek networks, blah blah blah) no one seems to get the idea. Just about everyone has mentioned "If Im going to buy this box, why dont I just build a PC and run steam on it?"
Im not that excited about it myself just because Im not a console player and I play steam on my gaming PC, so I dont know if I am the market they are wanting to hit. I would say I am not.
