Valve’s Steam Box gets big push at CES as Gabe Newell meets with major hardware partners

)We just stopped by Valve’s small booth at CES, and the company has confirmed to The Verge that it is meeting with a number of hardware partners to push forward with its plans to release its own console-like PC for the living room. The company isn’t showing off much to the press this year, but we managed to take a look at some prototype hardware Valve has sitting out, and it’s not all too surprising; right now the Steam Box looks like a small-chassis PC.
