The amount of people who want to spend over $1000 on a gaming PC might be a lot more than you think. A niche, but a decently-sized one.

  $1k gaming PC is more reasonable proposition when it's your only (or primary) computer. But spending $1k on a secondary livingroom pc is asking for bit more.

    If steamos is what I think it is - ubuntu distro I could use it as a main pc. And depending on the living room - it may well be worthed. Having multi-TV screen gaming setup with audiophile sound can be very lucrative niche market.

      i wonder if you could stream from the Steambox to your office room instead of doing the opposite. id definitely need lots of power for games in the living room but for the office work if it boils down to browsing you could just stream that from your living room box.

        Sadly linux is way behind remote desktop from what I have seen :( I have worked from RDP with no problems on low latency broadband, but I am not sure such smooth experience is possible in linux. Lets hope that Wayland can improve it. Be I could definitely see the fat headless home pc streaming to the devices needing it in the next few years - we could call it home mainframe.

          I don't know much about this matter, but what are the differences between Linux and other OSes for remote desktop functions?
