Steam Machine / "Gabe Cube" special editions

So, there are so many opportunities for Valve properties to function as skins for the Gabe Cube. So far, we do have the Companion Cube on the list of skins, but I have other ideas, and want to encourage others to share other ideas for Valve to steal.

Companion Cube link btw: https://dbrand.com/shop/limited-edition/companion-cube

- The Orange Box:
Likely would pair well as a special edition that bundles in a new version of TOB, but it would essentially be a bright orange variant of the SM shell. I designed a variant that would feature the Lambda logo, but I can live with it just being orange:

- Half Life:
This is an easy one, the HEV suit, but there are some cube-shaped props in the games that could work too, like the supply or ammo crates

- Portal:
While we are already getting the Weighted Companion Cube, there's still plenty more options:
Discouragement Redirection Cube - "Laser Cube"
Frankenturret (This might just be reserved for a fan project, but would still be a cool fixture...)
Old Aperture Weighted Storage Cube (Because it is cool, okay?)
Gel-splattered Weighted Storage Cube

There are potentially options from The Lab, Hand Lab or Aperture Desk Job

- Team Fortress:
Ammo Crate
MannCo. Crate
Box from Boxtrot (Red and Blu versions!)
Engi toolkit (Red and Blu too!!)

- Left 4 Dead
Medkit?

Counter Strike:
The loot boxes honestly suck as a console design, so you all come up with better ones.

All great ideas.

All of which would be better fulfilled by licensed 3rd parties such as dbrand. We may see one or two different LE versions much like they did with the Deck, but I doubt Valve will devote resources to creating their own library of skins/versions.

Also, from what I can tell, the dbrand Companion Cube should be a shell, not just a skin. There is definite structure to the promotional picture. The Steam Machine isn't all that difficult to remove from it's factory case. It should be trivial for 3rd parties to create aftermarket cases given it's size and simple shape.

Transparent acrylic/plastic would be neat too.

Oh, the expectation was that they could steal 1 or 2 ideas for LE, and 3rd parties will likely steal these ideas as well for their designs. I personally plan on buying a non-functioning GC to gut to be my GabeCube shell
