"Steambox" as a Valve invention is designed to be optimised for family convenience with yet-unknown functionality. "Steambox" as a general term is a PC built around big-picture mode by a third party which may lack the bells and whistles (if any).

The steambox is the PC. It's just a specialised one designed for people who aren't PC people. Kind of like Macs, except for casual gamers instead of yuppy douchebags.

I'm explaining this from the assumption that you think the "steambox" is a peripheral of some sort.
