I invited your best friend, the Companion Cube Starting a steam engine. Of course he couldn’t come because you killed him. So instead, gaming accessories company Dbrand brings you the next best thing: a Companion Cube cover for your boxed Valve console. Although you can’t deposit money yet, you can pre-order a special Dbrand case Steam engine.
Inspired by Portal, the Steam Machine cover consists of several plastic and silicone covers covering each side of the 6×6-inch PC/console hybrid. The back plate is open to allow heat dissipation, while several removable front plates provide access to the front I/O ports. Dbrand has made sure to keep the Steam Machine’s single programmable light bar on, so you won’t lose any functionality when you finally manage to get it.
In a note to Gizmodo, Dbrand founder and CEO Adam Ijaz said the initial units that went to reviewers had silicone rails that could leave grease marks on the Steam Machine. Full production units will use a different composition of rails, which hopefully won’t result in unsightly blemishes on your (probably expensive) Valve-built console.
Dbrand’s Companion Cube will cost you $100 or $130, depending on whether you buy the “Poverty Cube” box with plain cardboard packaging. You might not want to throw away the box that came with the regular version, as it opens to reveal a full-scale diorama inspired by the test camera icons and buttons found on both.

Whether you pay extra for packaging or not, your product will ship in July. On the other hand, Valve has yet to share a specific release date or price for its upcoming console. However, a growing number of reports indicate that Valve’s console will be released soon, including several that indicate that there are several waves of leaks. console shipping They arrived at the warehouse of the Steam manufacturer. Reddit users also wrote leaked documents For Steam Machine user manuals, Valve may release the product by June 29. One X user and Valve hardware updates informed earlier this month Valve has a “creative embargo” coming up on June 23rd.
This is another fake Companion Cube that doesn’t need to go into a heated oven. As the series antagonist GLaDOS says, we all want the Steam Machine to be a “huge success.” For now, we’ll just sit here with the Companion Cube and wonder what might happen.
