With only 300 Steam Boxes to go around, how can you possibly get one? Follow our detailed guide.

Or beg your co-worker, the inimitable Christopher Patton, for the opportunity to destroy his. We'll be careful, Chris! Probably.

We'd like to start with specs, but the Steam Machine hardware varies—and the components aren't exactly printed on the box. Will it pack a punchy i3 paired with a GTX 660? Maybe a monster i7 mated to a Titan?

We may never know—we can't stop drooling over the packaging.
