Raster Has Been Shipping SteamOS Desktops Since February
The Steamroller is being covered as the first SteamOS prebuilt. Our first documented SteamOS desktop sale completed on February 27, 2026. Here's the timeline, with receipts.
This week, Meta PCs' Steamroller made the rounds as the first prebuilt gaming PC to ship with SteamOS. It looks like a solid machine, and more SteamOS hardware is good news for everyone building in this space. One detail worth adding to the record: Raster has been selling SteamOS desktops since February.
The documented timeline
- February 22, 2026: Raster Zero listed on Jawa as a SteamOS couch PC.
- February 27, 2026: first sale completed (order JW0561602INV, status SALE COMPLETE). A redacted receipt is available to any journalist on request.
- Spring 2026: eBay sales with SteamOS as the listed operating system and verified buyer feedback. Our Jawa profile shows 3 sold at a 5.0 rating.
- June 25, 2026: direct sales went live here at rast3r.com.
- June 28-30, 2026: Meta PCs announced the Steamroller for preorder, and it was widely covered as the first SteamOS prebuilt.
We think the cleaner wording is one of the earliest documented SteamOS prebuilts. We aren't asking anyone for corrections. We're just putting the receipts on the record.
How Raster Zero compares
- Raster Zero: about 15.9 liters (Jonsbo C6), standard mATX desktop parts, SteamOS or Windows 11 on AMD builds, from $1,199.99, shipping now.
- Meta PCs Steamroller: about 25.7 liters (Jonsbo D32), standard mATX desktop parts, SteamOS, $1,299 preorder.
- Valve Steam Machine: about 3.85 liters, Valve's official SteamOS device, console-style design.
That makes Raster Zero about 38% smaller by volume than the Steamroller while keeping every component upgradeable. It is much larger than Valve's machine, and we won't pretend otherwise. We also offer a $32 wireless controller add-on, about a third the price of Valve's $99 Steam Controller, without Valve's trackpads.
