Apologies if this has already been posted. I did search but couldn't find anything.

Quote:
Steam owner and digital PC giant Valve has said that it would consider entering the games hardware race.
“Well, if we have to sell hardware we will,” co-founder and Valve MD Gabe Newell told Penny Arcade.
“We have no reason to believe we’re any good at it, it’s more we think that we need to continue to have innovation and if the only way to get these kind of projects started is by us going and developing and selling the hardware directly then that’s what we’ll do.
“It’s definitely not the first thought that crosses our mind; we’d rather hardware people that are good at manufacturing and distributing hardware do that. We think it’s important enough that if that’s what we end up having to do then that’s what we end up having to do.”

If it doesn't have an actual valve sticking out of it, I'll be very disapointed.

Nice to see they're still open to innovation, though.

Its hardly 'valve would consider' and more 'valve will sell hardware if they have to'.

Just read the full interview (which mcvuk have scavenged for their rag) here. Very interesting bits on how Valve runs day to day, and Gabe's role there.

Also, photo of Gabe with studly-beard.
