Steam Box (http://www.joystiq.com/tag/steam-box) dreamers take note, our buddies at Engadget (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/12/gigabyte-brix-gaming-pc/) recently went hands on with Gigabyte's Brix gaming PC. Gigabyte's Brix line (http://www.engadget.com/2013/06/03/gigabyte-shows-four-prototype-brix-mini-pcs/), if you haven't heard, crams a whole PC into a case roughly the size of a nice tiramisu (i.e. a cube about 4.5 inches wide). The diminutive machine packs Intel's new Haswell processor and, more importantly, Iris Pro integrated graphics. Connectivity includes 4 USB 3.0 ports, HDMI, Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0, built-in WiFi and a headphone jack.
Engadget tried out Grid 2 (http://joystiq.com/game/grid-2), which played smoothly in 1080p. The lil' 'puter isn't going to outperform a system with a dedicated GPU, but it sounds impressive nonetheless. The PC has no release date just yet, but it's expected to sell for $500. That comes with a hefty caveat, however: you'll have to provide your own RAM, 2.5-inch hard drive and operating system.
