While a Steam Machine might not be for everyone, it does have a certain appeal for those wanting the power of a decent gaming PC but without the large footprint. Although a dedicated gaming console might be a viable option, it doesn"t quite have the customizability of a PC. Luckily, for those interested, Syber has started their holiday promotion early with $200 savings on all of their Steam Machine units.
The break down of the discount and specifications is as follows:
Steam Machine X - $1479 $1279
- Intel Core i7-4790K Processor
- 1TB SATA III HDD
- 16GB DDR3 Memory
- NVIDIA GTX 980 4GB GDDR5
Steam Machine P - $789 $589
- Intel Core i5-4460 Processor
- 1TB SATA III HDD

Steam Machine I - $499 $299

For those purchasing a system, Syber will be discounting $100 off the retail price on initial purchase and offering a $100 rebate. Depending on how you feel about rebates, this could be a good or bad deal. Unlike our review unit from Alienware, Syber"s units offer the ability to upgrade a majority of the innards, including the video card.
