The Steam Machine is slightly bigger than a portable Blu-ray / DVD player. (I just checked this with my own players)
I can’t wait for someone to make the equivalent of the Gamecube’s GBA Player for discs. Because of its size, It could even be a plastic shell where you put an existing Hitachi/LG portable drive without having to disassemble anything
Off topic, but how does the Steam machine’s dimensions compare to a GameCube, which is bigger?
The Steam Machine is slightly bigger but it’s very close.
GameCube: 110 mm x 161 mm x 150 mm
Steam Machine: 152 mm x 162.4 mm x 156 mm
Wait, the gabecube isn’t exactly a cube? Well that’s just mildly annoying for no good reason!
is that 161mm with the handle?
Looks like that is without the handle.

I’m surprised I cannot find an image of the two devices side-by-side. Here is a mockup of the two in OpenSCAD using the dimensions from Wikipedia
Oh you rock, this is amazing! Thank you for effortposting :3
