At least the ones advertised on the store.
Model: Origin High Performance Steam Machines
Starting Price: $899.99
Model: ZOTAC NEN Steam Machine SN970
Price: $899.99
Model: Syber Steam Machine
Price: $499.00
Model: Alienware Steam Machine
Price: $449.00
The latter two go for the same cost as some of the builds I've seen online so naturally one has to wonder if it might be worth getting one of them from an auction site such as eBay and perhaps somehow installing Windows on it instead of SteamOS.
I'm not considering on getting one, but I still like to hear Minichan's opinions on them.

Just build a decent gaming computer, install Windows, install Steam, get a Steam controller (or just an Xbox One controller and hook it up to the PC). I love Steam, but I don't see the point of the SteamOS or these Steam machines. Just my opinion though.
