    And they’re legit this time? 😋

    Jokes aside, that orange one is pretty cool. You could claim to have bought the Steam Orange Box, literally!

    Some of these designs are, um, unexpected? Like, I want to know which nerd is making their Machine look like a square basketball xD.

    The orange box one is pretty nice though.

    Can the machine still breath with these on tho? I remember my friend bought very similar looking skins on their Xbox and the poor console overheated multiple times before they took of the skins.

      It should be fine, the Steam Machine uses fans to cycle air through, so as long as the vents are uncovered it should cool fine. The body is plastic as well, so not very effective for shedding heat that way.

      Although tbf an xbox shouldn’t have overheated from a skin either, since they also use fans and have a plastic body. Any chance your friend blocked the vents or something when the put the skin on?

        Oh, alright, thanks! And yes, very likely my friend blocked the vents or that the skin was just very badly designed.

          And if it was a 360, those had an inherent overheating issue regardless of what you did, but adding another layer that insulates more than conducts heat wouldn’t help, even if the vents are free and clear.

            It was probably One, but likely just a cheap and crappy skin from Wish or somewhere like that. User-error now that I think of it.

      I’ll contrast your opinion by saying they look all terrible. I mean the basketball is funny but who wants to see that every day on their computer.
