Thought I'd say a bit more about this little console, and show the scale.
This is a 1080p focused Steam Machine running SteamOS. It's not as powerful as what Valve will be putting out, but it more than handles what I need.

I've been building a little Steam machine using one of those TINY thinkcentres (M920Q for the curious). De-burring the ventilation could've gone better 😅.

Shadow of the Wind was another huge one. Read it first as a youngster, got a lot out of it, read it AGAIN as an adult and got different things. So good.
