So, since I have no intention of being part of the next generation of consoles because they are bad for the industry I decided to put together a list for building a Steambox for LESS THAN $500.
Basically I want to use my controllers games on a TV for a lower cost than next gen consoles.

Feel free to tell me if it sucks or if you have your own idea. I any for smallest form factor possible and highest power for price.
If you wish to post your own, remember, total initial cost MUST be less than $500. (You can leave room for upgrades later, example: I have an APU so a GPU is included, but a better one can be added later, Also, I have 1 8GB stick of RAM but the mono has support for up to 32 GB, after the fact purchases are not included such as peripherals, or displays).
Side note: OS and Game costs not included. Intent to launch Steam on boot and big picture on Steam launch. Big Picture has system shutdown and reboot options.
