That $1049 is just the starting price, getting you just the 512GB version of the mini gaming PC without the Steam Controller.512GB SSD so I can install only on #game and and can't play it without #controller 🙁
#Valve is also selling a 2TB model, which will set you back $1349 for just the #SteamMachine, or $1428 bundled with the #SteamController.That's quite a lot of #money. #Gaming is becoming a #luxury.
