iBuyPower’s Steam Machine, which was showcased in a series of prototype images yesterday, has received some new details for pricing and specifications. According to The Verge, the third party living room PC will feature a multi-core AMD CPU, an AMD Radeon R9 270 GPU, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and a 500 GB HDD. There will also be no power brick, with the console measuring larger than the PS4 and smaller than the Xbox One.

And how much will it run you in terms of cost? It will retail for $499 when it goes on sale in 2014 and will include Valve’s Steam Controller. As mentioned yesterday, the device will be available in two variants dubbed “Gordon” and “Freeman”. You can choose a console with an illuminated lightbar running along the edge or go for one that has a black lightbar and doesn’t light up.

What are your thoughts on the pricing? Let us know in the comments below.

We’ve finally got a look at the Steam Machines being produced by third party manufacturers, and its iBuyPower which has brought out a fairly interesting looking console. Set for a tentative release in 2014, iBuyPower’s Steam Machine will arrive in a white casing not unlike the PS4’s design and feature a light bar running along the edge of the console.

iBuyPower has confirmed that its Steam Machine will have two models, code “Gordon” and “Freeman” (real subtle, guys), and that both consoles will look the same. The only difference will be the light bar which will light up on the white console but remain black and not illuminate on the other model. Specifications are still wanting, but iBuyPower is promising that all Steam games will run at 60 frames per second and at 1080p resolution.

What are your thoughts on the above? Is it an interesting take on what a living room PC could be or is it too much like the PS4? Let us know in the comments below.
