Steam Machine prototype: laying out Valve’s slimline machine

PCGamer: Looking again at the specifications for Valve’s own prototype for their Steam Machine one thing jumped out of the page at me – this powerful, fully specced gaming PC isn’t even going to be 3-inches high. That’s slimmer than the XBone, and there’s a GTX Titan inside. I sat down with a ruler, a mini-ITX motherboard and a Titan to try and visualise the way the Steam Machine is likely to be laid out inside, and with a little imagination you can see what a lovely, sleek little device this could turn out to be.
