...the Steam Box is said to operate more like a platform along the lines of Google's Android operating system or the 3DO. In theory, Valve would set hardware specifications and create the system software, but multiple partners (Alienware is one rumored name mentioned in the report) would be able to create their own Steam Box devices.

The baseline specs reportedly tout a Core i7 CPU, 8GB of RAM, and an Nvidia GPU. And in addition to running PC games through Valve's Steam storefront, the boxes would be able to run services of rival digital distributors, like EA's Origin service.

What do you guys think?

Personally if they can do it right, I'll be all aboard for these. This could be a perfect way to play Windows games without paying the huge, hefty prices of gaming PCs. Time will tell if this will turn out right, but Valve is a pretty capable gaming innovator.
