Xi3 announces Valve investment for Piston gaming PC

I hope this pans out. Yes there are Micro PCs out there already but this one is built with Steam games in mind which means she'll probably run almost anything. And only at a meager 40W power usage!

Anyone else see this and think "Woo yay!"?

My understanding is that there may be varying specs depending on the purchaser's desires/budget (upgraded GPUs and the like). I think it is a great idea and could potentially be the Android phone of the the console market.

I have to agree that this system looks absolutely awesome, and could potentially be the best thing to happen to PC gaming in years. I'd expect a reasonably equiped system to be considerably more expensive than competing game consoles though. Even so, I'm way more excited about this than any of the upcoming next gen game systems. Apparently they can also take a beating:
