Xi3's Steam-focused PC "console," the Piston (http://www.joystiq.com/2013/01/07/valve-pc-steam-box/), is now available for pre-order, the company announced yesterday. The tiny, $999 box includes a 128 gig solid-state drive that can be upgraded to 512 gigs for an additional $750 (for real, SSDs aren't cheap, y'all), eight gigs of RAM and a 3.2 Ghz quad-core processor.
Any pre-orders placed between now and 11:59 p.m. Central on March 17, however, will have a smooth Benjamin shaved off the price. Pre-orders are expected to ship "in time for the 2013 Holiday Season," according to Xi3'sannouncement (http://www.xi3.com/news.php?id=907). Further information is expected to surface during the course of Austin's ongoing SXSW Interactive Festival.
