The Steam Machine aims to bridge the gap between PC performance and console convenience, bringing SteamOS to your living room. We’ve spent two weeks testing Valve's latest hardware to see if it delivers on the promise of 4K gaming and seamless home integration. Is the GabeCube actually worth the (not-so) budget price tag?
