This Steam Machine is full of tissues, not games
A 3D printing fan created a tissue box holder that mimics the design of the Steam Machine, a gaming PC or console. The fan, known as itsBoyso, designed the replica due to being unable to afford the actual Steam Machine. The 3D printing files for the tissue box holder are now available online in 512GB and 2TB versions.
