The Steam Machine has QR codes, clear labels, plain English text, numbers, and color codes scattered throughout the device in a way that makes it easier to take apart. Accessing the memory, such as to upgrade the RAM or enshrine the single stick you get in the gold that its value equals, is mostly easy except for some cables secured by (unfortunately) glue to the finstack.
