It isn't a white PS4: it's a commercial Steam Machines box, or at least a prototype of one. iBuyPower tells us that it's building the box for a 2014 launch, but says it's still early.
iBuyPower tells us that it actually has two models, codenamed Gordon and Freeman, in the works. The two consoles are identical, save for the light bar round the middle -- one model's is clear, while the other's is black when not illuminated. And, while the company wouldn't tell us about the boxes' internals, it did confirm that the hardware will run all Steam titles in 1080p resolution at 60fps.

multicore AMD CPU
discrete AMD Radeon R9 270 graphics card
Valve's Steam Controller
Wi-Fi

The GPU can run BF4 on High, 1080p, @60fps
"The Radeon R9 270 performs so much like the Radeon HD 7870 that even the most seasoned gamer wouldn't be able to tell them apart."
Tom's Hardware has a different rig, of course, so you wouldn't get the same performance by any means. Still, you can kind of ballpark what to expect.

KeePass is really good - it generates long weird passwords for you too - you can decide just how big and weird they should be. It's a bit more bother than just using one of the three passwords I would use everywhere before this, but now I don't have to have a panic attack every time I read about a page I use being hacked

So when do Steam sales usually start? Is it time to say that this was a fake:

You start with something you use in every password, to give it lenght, like my example above "BatteryPowered...", then you add something you get from the site and can remember; say steam, what comes to mind? SteamTube? GuardDog? SummerSale? You add that.
"BatteryPoweredSummerSale..."
Now you add an ending, like a number you like.
"BatteryPoweredSummerSale123".
Now you do the same for every site. Works for me. And the password can't be brute forced. And if they want your method, they need to hack a ton of passwords first.
