Valve Limits 2TB Steam Machine to 2 Faceplates, Opens CAD Files to Third Parties

Summary
Valve said the 2TB Steam Machine will ship with only its two included faceplates—red fabric and solid walnut—and has no specific plans to add more official designs.
Pierre-Loup Griffais said Valve instead wants third parties and home tinkerers to make their own, with CAD files, exterior dimensions and magnetic attachment specs set to be released.
Those files were not yet available at publication, though Valve has already published CAD files for the new Steam Controller to support customization.
Commercial add-ons remain a separate issue: Dbrand has begun refunding its teased Companion Cube housing after Valve said the company lacked permission to sell it.
