Steam Machines are closer to becoming reality with each passing day. One of the manufacturers at the forefront of the Steam Machine movement is Alienware, which is why Shacknews stopped by for a visit during E3 2015.

Join Shacknews Showcase's Andrew Zucosky as he speaks to Alienware's Chris Sutphen about the four tiers of Alienware Steam Machine that the manufacturer plans to make available. Along the way, Sutphen discusses the machines' specs, making a candid admission that the 5400rpm hard drive contained in the Alienware Alpha fell short of customer expectations while announcing that the Alienware Steam Machine would ship with a 7200rpm drive. Afterwards, it's time to go hands-on with the upcoming machine itself.

For more on the Alienware Steam Machine, be sure to watch the full interview below and also check out the current listing on Steam.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
