The Tiki is back again but with SteamOS.

Tom's Hardware is no stranger to Falcon Northwest's Tiki (learn all about the Tiki's inception here), so it was like greeting an old friend when we saw the boutique PC builder's offering at Valve's Steam Machine event. Falcon Northwest is definitely going after the high-end here, with a GeForce GTX Titan and a custom paint job that could boost the machine's pricing up to $6000.

  • $1,799 -$6000
  • CPU: Customizable
  • RAM: 8-16 GB
  • Graphics: Nvidia GeForce GTX TITAN
  • Storage: Up to 6 TB

    The entire idea behind "steam machine" is going to flop unless company's start bringing solid $5-600 dollar machine to market.

    All of these companies jumping head first into the steam machine idea. I do not see things going well for them.

    I hope it dual boots, at that price windows better be included.
    On a side note I would like to see a steam machine with 2 boot drives and a toggle switch on the front to flip between the Linux boot drive and the windows boot drive.

    Guess this is the last chance for Nvidia to clear out their Titans, whose sales were as still as swampwater after the 290X and 780Ti came.
