Ranked in these QuestionsQuestion Ranking
Pros
Pro Fully upgradable
Another Steam Machine that allows extensive flexibility in upgrades. You have mini ITX options like the power supply and motherboard, you can add two SSD storage units down the line, and you can even fit a desktop quality graphics card in this machine. Pretty impressive.
Pro Matte finish
Some other Steam Machines like glossy finishes that make the system look pretty, but can get fingerprints easily. Luckily, the Eclipse has a matte finish that doesn't stain easily just from touching it.
Pro Fits in anywhere
The Eclipse, like it's fellow Steam Machine brethren, is also a perfect form factor PC that can fit in your living room space or game room alongside your current and past gen consoles.
Cons
Con A bit on the expensive side
Like the Maingear DRIFT it's base model reaches in the $1000 range from the get go. Plus, with all your choices adding up, it can be tied in a race against the DRIFT as being one of the more expensive options out there for a Steam Machine.
Con Non unique chassis
Even if the chassis is nice, it isn't unique. In fact, you can easily purchase the Silverstone Raven chassis on multiple outlets like Amazon and Superbliz for around $79.99 and can make a cheaper build with that exact chassis. The only things you won't get from building it yourself with that chassis is getting a warranty on the unit and the pretty sweet lightning bolt on the front.
Con No SteamOS
To some, this is a killer. Because, believe it or not, not everyone is a Windows enthusiast. Some love to use Linux for they find it easier, simpler, and they find SteamOS to be the closest OS to match that console feel they're looking for. Plus it's a cheaper alternative to Windows. Unfortunately, Digital Storm does not have that option for this particular system and that sucks to those who love Linux.
