[Sared]

Last Friday Valve shipped out their prototype Steam Box to a select group of beta testers.

As revealed before, the prototype's specs can vary by unit. Some will have Nvidia's Titan graphics processor, while others will have Nvidia's GTX 780, GTX 760, or GTX 660. Some boxes come with an Intel Core i7-4770 processor, while others have either a Core i5-4570 or a Core i3 chip. All prototypes come with 16 GB of general RAM, 3 GB of GPU RAM, and 1 TB/8GB of hybrid solid-state/mechanical hard drive storage. The box itself measures roughly a foot long and deep, and just under three inches thick.

I wasn't picked.  Fuck Valve.  It's rigged.

But seriously, cool.
