I mean sure, if SteamOS gets developed openly in collaboration with the community (not evident so far), it could probably work, but if they just start doing things according to their own whims and expect everyone else to follow no matter whether it's practical for them to do so (a l? Canonical), then it's just going to be another incompatible platform, separate from the rest of the Linux ecosystem.

The gfx card placement is interesting in that SteamBox, the used hardware is standard, the board looks like an OEM model of ASRock Z87E-ITX and the cpu cooler is Zalman CNPS2X. From the specs a 27x84 mm sized cpu cooler can not be too quiet under full load but the case looks nice. My guess is that the firmware has different defaults for this system like legacy mode completely disabled and uefi in fast boot mode with usb / ps2 keyboard init and fully enabled powersave modes. Generic ASRock boards do not really shine in that areas.
