First 13 Steam Machines Revealed

Valve has revealed the first 13 Steam Machines/Boxes, their manufacturers, and some of the pricing for them. It looks like there are a wide range of prices.

For those of you that are not familiar with these companies, and you are interested in getting a Steam Box, I would recommend staying away from anything that is CyberPowerPC or IbuyPower. While the low prices may be tempting, I've had bad run ins with both of these companies, and their "options" are cheaper for a reason. I've had faulty hardware from both of these manufacturers. Also, they have some of the worst customer support I've ever dealt with.

So is anyone interested in getting a Steam Box? I don't have much need for one. I already have a PC that I built for gaming.

For some reason, PC gaming has never been my thing. I just can't get into it. So I'm pretty intrigued by the Steam box.
Next Pokemon game(s): Pearl
Last finished Pokémon game: Shield
Other games: Skyrim Special Edition (Switch), Spyro Reignited Trilogy (Switch & PS4), Okami (Switch & PS4)
Other gaming goals: completing a Living Pokedex (minus some event Pokes) and going through at least 1 game per generation
