Could be wireless. That would also explain the “battery” mentioned in the poll on shitter.

Batteries on a device that needs wall power?
Well I guess I’ve seen things this dumb already so maybe

There aren’t, to my knowledge, but I’m sure you could grab it and data from somewhere on the board.

Maybe there’s a spare USB header inside on the board?

As long as there’s some kind of power available inside the machine (e.g. an extra SATA power connector) it can just use that and wifi.
I suspect that the Valve engineers weren’t so short sighted though and probably have all the usual headers/connectors inside the thing that a normal PC would have. For example, a USB 3 header (the kind usually used for front-panel USB ports).
If anything, the device probably has at least one extra M.2 connector and a 1x or 4x PCI express connector. With those, anything is possible.

I thought the front panel having customizable plates was already pretty cool and now someone is making display panels for them? Nice.

I hadn’t thought of that actually, but I’d 100% have pictures of my kids rotating on that thing! :-D That’d be INCREDIBLE.
