Depends on what it is going to be exactly.
I saw that you can use a controller which you can customize yourself ( link ), so ... yes, I am looking forwards to it, but I'm not sure if I'm going to say goodbye to PC gaming..

..I'll just have to see where this leads, developers have been asking for ages for consoles to give them more freedom (no restrictions in like DLC's / money), the "GabenBox" or Steambox might actually gonna give that to them.

The name is funny because a steam engine has pistons...

Also... it's small.

Unless it's a Wankel.

 

Re: Will you get GabenBox instead of a new PC, PlayStation 4, Wii U, or Xbox 720?

Your mum is a Wankel.

Also, the name Wankel wouldn't catch on.
"Wankel - The ultimate gaming platform!"

You bloody Wankel!

Nyet because, lazy ass motherfucker.

In total douchebag style (like most gaming related announcements are these days), here's the page on GabenBox:

First GabenBox announced. It's called the "iBuyPower Steam Machine":


There's no information on the CPU or RAM, but the graphics card will be AMD Radeon R9 270.
It will cost $ 499 (ca. € 366 / £ 304).

It looks like a fat Wii

 

Re: Will you get GabenBox instead of a new PC, PlayStation 4, Wii U, or Xbox 720?

Why is the Gabenbox white?

There are more coming out, these six will be available in Europe:
Alienware

Looks pretty nice, and it's sufficiently small that it can compete with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in spacing. However, no information on specs or pricing. Knowing Alienware, it will probably be overpriced.

Alternate

Code:

Intel Core i5 4570
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760
16 GB RAM
1 TB SSHD

This one looks like any other gaming rig they sell.
$ 1339 (ca. € 983 / £ 817) is way too high for it's purpose. It's supposed to compete with PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Gigabyte

Code:

Intel Core i7 4770R
Intel Iris Pro 5200
8 GB RAM
1 TB SATA 6 Gb/s

No pricing announced. It better be cheap, because the graphics card sucks.

Materiel.net

Code:

Intel Core i5
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 760 OC
8 GB RAM
1 TB SSHD

$ 1098 (ca. € 806 / £ 670) and it looks like a box.

Webhallen

Code:

Intel Core i7 4771
NVIDIA GeForce 780
16 GB RAM
1TB SSHD

Another expensive one. $ 1499 (ca. € 1101 / £ 914) defeats the purpose of a console replacement. Also looks like any other gaming rig.

ZOTAC

Code:

Intel Core :-X
NVIDIA GeForce GTX :-X
:-X GB RAM
:-X TB

At $ 599 (ca. € 440 / £ 365), it can compete with next-gen consoles. Also, it looks like my wireless router, which I think is pretty awesome. Too bad they haven't announced anything hardware wise, other then Intel Core and NVIDIA GeForce.
