It's hard to believe there's as much power as there is packed into such a tiny, nice-looking box.

What I'll say for Alienware's Steam Machine model is that, while it's not the most powerful PC in terms of its guts, it's got an incredible form factor. We think all of those things are fundamentally critical to our business, even though we don't sell Minecraft. It ends up making subscription-based massively multiplayer online games and Facebook and all of these things that happen on the PC first, because the PC is an open system that allows any designer or engineer or artist to create anything they want. Having all those choices is the engine that ends up making virtual reality happen. Some people buy it directly from Alienware. What do you think I should do?" Some people have a friend that will order all the parts and put it together for them. It's no different than saying, "Hey, I want to go build a new gaming PC.

This should not be considered an official review, and it's possible that a lot of what we're discussing could change before Steam Machines hit retail on Nov. While we're going to provide our frank and honest impressions of the Steam Machine hardware thus far, it should be noted that a lot of the functionality we've been playing with is not final. Finally, we'll get some in-depth impressions from executive editor Brian Crecente, who's spent the last week testing out the Steam Machine in the comfort of his own home. Then we'll offer thoughts from senior editor Phil Kollar, who spent a few hours with the Steam Machine at Valve's headquarters. First, we'll give some quotes from Valve itself, to give context to what they're going for with the Steam Machine. In each section, we'll provide three points of view. To give a few different perspectives, we'll be splitting our impressions into sections. We also got to test out Steam's unique new controller. Before that happens, Polygon was able to go hands-on with Alienware's version of the Steam Machine, which comes packed with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor, a custom-built Nvidia GeForce GTX card and 8 GB of RAM. Valve's first round of officially branded Steam Machines will roll out from several manufacturers beginning on Nov. But can that success translate into the living room and hardware, two arenas Valve has yet to conquer?
