I too would like to see said OcUK Steam box when the time is right... Now though it's still early days.
This is Overclockers, they will sell you the bits and you will make it yourself with the downloadable ISO.
A range of water cooled Steam Boxes would be cool though. Somebody there should be able to come up with a clever Steam/Water related title for the range.

I don't think OCUK should make a Steam Box as there is no profit in it. If they create/sell a small form factor PC than can run most games at 1080p @60fps with the ability to run at a low power state it will probably end up being £600 due to the none standard components/cases.
Even then it would be compared to a full tower PC that costs minimum £800 to buy probably more like £1000 once you put in none stock coolers etc. The Steam OS market is not the Overclocker market yet. Maybe in 2-3 years time depending on how much traction Steam OS gets and how much of a media box it will become, also the much cheaper components for a similar performance of a PS4/Xbox One.

No, not really. The first response was a simple correction to the obvious error in the title, and then went on to respond to the OP. The rest have just been a bit of fun.

It appears that the Steam Machine will run on its own Linux distro. If I already have certain game licenses for the Windows Steam client e.g. Poker Night 2, will I be entitled to play it on the Steam Machine as well or will it need a separate license? Also, will it able to play other Linux games outside of Steam e.g. World of Warcraft?
... I was wandering if OCUK will ever do something similar like this?, oh and the case looks sexy is well. ...
... as well ...

anglo-french spelling must die
Also your name is spelt wrong it should be "Colditz"
your location says "London innit" it should be "London is it not"

It's not, you just made one of the most basic and most common [probably THE most common] grammatical mistake in the English language and deserve to be corrected for it.

Steam machine as in a kettle?
Not a very good argument. It's the old version, not the current version.
If you wrote in Middle English it wouldn't be correct nowadays, would it.
