It's probably not the steambox but Xi3 is probably the company that will make the steamnox.[/quote]Why does this not qualify as 'the steambox' to you? Seems like it's designed to run with Steam's BigPicture form in mind to me.[/quote] It's a "steambox" but it's not Valve's steambox. It doesn't have the Valve logo on it. Therefore it's [i]just[/i] a tiny PC.
