Valve’s PC game console, the Steam Machine, is coming but it won’t be cheap, thanks to the ongoing memory shortage referred to as RAMageddon.

The window to buy the console will started today and will be open for three days. Those who do not complete their purchase will lose their reservation, and it will go to someone else.
