Company reps explained that the Pandora Machine we previewed is a preliminary version, with higher-performance models to follow. Unfortunately, they wouldn't divulge the CPU or GPU used in the system. Though, after a bit of nagging, we did figure out that the platform employs an Intel host processor and AMD GPU.
Less secretive is the 8GB of RAM, 500GB SATA 6Gb/s hard drive with 64MB cache and internal power supply, which the company says should allow for high performance and low noise levels.
Pre-orders for the first Pandora Machine were supposed to start August 1st, with deliveries commencing in September. As of October, it still looks like the site is accepting pre-orders though, and the pricing information isn't immediately apparent. We're told to expect something between 700 and 730€. That'll get you a Pandora Machine, a gamepad, a keyboard with integrated trackball, a HDMI cable and a Windows license, as the device will use a custom interface specially made and based on Microsoft's operating system.

This looks like a nice Steam Machine. I like the case, and controller. The mini handheld remote keyboard is nice.
