With this case, Steam Machine becomes a Portal Companion Cube, complete with matching controller
The Steam Machine is set to hit the market before the end of the year, but Valve still hasn't confirmed when or at what price the console-PC hybrid will be released. dbrand apparently didn’t want to wait for the console’s launch and has already started selling the Steam Machine Companion Cube, which was was announced in November.
The Steam Machine simply slots into the plastic cube to match the console’s design. The case features cutouts for all the fans, so the Steam Machine’s performance shouldn’t be affected. The front panel is magnetically attached, allowing it to be easily removed for cleaning.
The Steam Machine's LED strip is also visible in the Companion Cube; the ports on the front are hidden behind removable covers, and the back is open so as not to block access to the ports. Valve ships the Companion Cube in a stylish collector’s box along with a matching skin for the Steam Controller, but also offers the case as a “Poverty Cube” without these extras.
Pricing and availability
The dbrand Companion Cube for the Steam Machine is now available for $129.95 in the manufacturer’s online store. Shipping begins in late July. Shipping is free. dbrand includes a collector’s box, a stand, and a skin for the Steam Controller. Those who don’t need these extras can order the Companion Cube as a “Poverty Cube” for $99.95.
