Simple premise.  Since Steambox is turning into a reality, what will we name that faction?  (If this turns into an Official thread, Mods can add a poll as needed)

This is like asking what PS4 and Xbox One supporters are going to be called.

They're still Lems and Cows.

(Steam Machines Supporters will be called Hermits.)

Horse shit. That is like saying XBox supporters are Hermits because Microsoft makes the OS. If it is a standalone console, then its fanbase could reach out beyond Hermits. It is what it is.  It's a lame assertion to think that PC gamers are going to get lumped in with a console gamers just because Valve is making it.

Can I hack this box? Run another OS? Change the hardware? Install my own software? Use it to build a robot?

Sure.

straight from thesteam machine faq.

It's just a Valve made PC that comes preinstalled with thier OS, but can be easily changed to a Windows Powered PC.

Any Windows PC could become a "Steam Box", so they'll still be PC gamers.
