Optional granite base anyone?

The Steam Store now has a hardware tab listing the diverse range of Steam Machines - PCs that run SteamOS - and the prices they will arrive at this November.

The prices are in US dollars and aren't localised yet - many of the retailers only deal in bucks. The closest guide is Alienware's Steam Machine that will probably cost £449.99.

The machines come from all over and vary dramatically. They're all based around the idea of looking snazzy by your telly and not like a council estate tower block.

Because nothing says class like a glass of red wine.

The most ridiculous is the Falcon Northwest Tiki Steam Machine (pictured right) that spirals up to a monstrous $4999.99 (as does the highest-end Origin machine, actually). But with the sleek steel-cased Falcon machine you get a choice of having a granite stone base, and I've never seen luxury like that before.

Alienware's box is at the lowest-end of the pricing. You can browse the list and tech specs on the Steam website, or see them at a price-ordered glance below.
