I actually still own one of these Alienware Alphas (a Windows variant). Traded out the HD for an SSD and it's surprising how much they could be overclocked.

Now that Steam OS is leaps and bounds better I really do hope Valve try again with this kind of gaming PC. It's been a great entertainment center PC.

I would buy the fuck out of a steam machine 2.0 if the specs were all right for the price

(Which means don't work with fucking Dell Alienware)

If I recall correctly at the time I bought mine, the specs and price generally made sense. But I honestly doubt that Valve will be partnering with anyone for this in regards to hardware after the steam deck's success except perhaps as an alternative to windows. It would honestly be better for most consumers to have that alternative in store. We want steam os to become more popular.
