This got anounced at CES which I thought might be of interest... http://www.gizmodo.co.uk/2013/01/valves-going-to-sell-its-own-bigfoot-steam-box-with-fancy-biometric-controller/ If it really isn't locked down it could be a cool Linux box even even if your not into gaming. The biometric controller looks interesting too... Of course it's still vapourware at the moment. No indication of price or internal spec yet but one to watch. Malcolm
I heard it's got an AMD Quad Core CPU (one of the new AMD APU's with integrated GPU) and 1TB of storage, also seen something about it costing around $1000... so not cheap. But still pretty cool.

Rob* I say that because when I checked before Christmas it wasn't available. Actually I don't know if my Nettop with basic Geforce 8200 graphics would be up to the job :-P
