I have been checking the Steam Machine subreddit the last couple of days and seen that a handful on people over there has been getting theirs now.
So, Lemmings: have you gotten yours yet? And what’s your first impressions?

Got my mail to buy the 2TB with controller yesterday but after some thought I am going to undo my reservation. I just can’t justify the price of this thing. I have a pretty beefy computer upstairs and would probably get really annoyed by the lack of performance in comparison. I will probably go for a mini pc (with steam controller) and stream my games instead.
Btw, if you enlisted on more than one model, your option to buy will only be for the most beefed up one. I enlisted for 512GB and 2TB, but can only buy the 2TB and the 512GB spot is gone.
Btw2, for me it said 3-5 business days for delivery.
Good luck with your reservations, hope you all enjoy your steam machines.
That’s not true. If you reserved for multiple models, then you were rolled randomly in each. Whichever model you rolled best on is the model you can buy.
I guess that depends on what you mean by “rolled best.” It was random for each SKU you selected. If you got on the reservation queue for more than one, then you got to keep the queue position for the most expensive model and your queue position for the less expensive model was discarded, regardless of which queue you were closer to the front of. If you didn’t get reservation queue for any, then you got the shortest waitlist of your selected options.
Edit: so cool getting downvoted for a factually correct statement. Read the policy yourselves
I don’t mean to be rude, I’m just curious.
If you already have a beefy computer, why were you planning to get it in the first place?
I’m in the same position, but I actually decided to proceed with my purchase. See my other comment here for details, but the short answer is that I still think the base model is a good value for what it is and fills some niches my beefy PC can’t.
