Steam Machines, those things that once seemed so mysterious and revolutionary, are finally here. Well, "select Steam Machines" are. Of the 15 Steam Machines listed earlier in the year (http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-03-06-steam-hardware-tab-lists-steam-machine-prices),three are available (http://store.steampowered.com/hardware), but one of them I can't find for sale in the UK.
The three Steam Machines come from Alienware, a familiar name in PC gaming, as well as Syber and Zotac. It's Zotac's Nen Steam Machine I can't find in the UK. Amazon US lists $900 as a guideline (http://www.amazon.com/ZOTAC-i5-6400T-Quad-Core-Bluetooth-ZBOX-SN970-P-U/dp/B016QO3UJQ) (importing will cost a further $200).
Zotac's Steam Machine sprung into being after Valve's Greg Coomer posted a picture of a tiny computer he'd built using Zotac bits and bobs (https://www.zotac.com/gb/news/nen-steam-machine). Zotac phoned Valve and a partnership began.

The top-spec build will set you back £1205, but drops sharply to £695 and then £499 for lower-spec builds.
