I'm bloody brainless when it comes to computer specs, are those specs any good? The numbers make it sound good.

Well, it sounds like it uses integrated graphics. So far, the best IGP available is the HD4000, which still cannot run most games at 1080p. Maybe next generation Haswell integrated graphics can do it. (scheduled for release June 2013)

That box is so damn small, but maybe they could manage to fit in a discrete mobile graphics card like the Nvidia 660m or AMD 8870m.

At any rate, it looks like in addition to the Piston there are two other boxes, the "Bigfoot" and "Littlefoot"

Q: Do you think you can really disrupt the home entertainment space and compete with Microsoft and Sony?

Gabe: The internet is super smart. If you do something that is cool, that's actually worth people's time, then they'll adopt it. If you do something that's not cool and sucks, you can spend as many marketing dollars as you want, they just won't

Thats a good interview. This part seems to clear up what Valve is sort of doing:

We've heard lots of rumors about the Steam Box, including that  Valve's own hardware would be "tightly controlled." Can you tell us more about Valve's own hardware effort?

Gabe:
The way we sort of think of it is sort of "Good, Better," or "Best."  So, Good are like these very low-cost streaming solutions that you’re  going to see that are using Miracast or Grid. I think we’re talking about in-home solutions where you’ve got low latency. "Better" is to  have a dedicated CPU and GPU and that’s the one that’s going to be  controlled. Not because our goal is to control it; it’s been surprisingly difficult when we say to people "don’t put an optical media drive in there" and they put an optical media drive in there and you’re like "that makes it hotter, that makes it more expensive, and it makes  the box bigger." Go ahead. You can always sell the Best box, and those  are just whatever those guys want to manufacture. [Valve's position is]: let's build a thing that’s quiet and focuses on high performance and  quiet and appropriate form factors.

I'd love to  have a low latency box that can stream from my gaming PC to any TV in my house. That would be great.
