Yeah, really into Steam, liked the idea of a Steam link too but built my Dual Boot Hack to fulfil the same purpose and binned off my Xbox. Not sure if its worth trying to stream to my iMac (the Hack is more powerful, but not massively really, although I am now getting tempted to max it out and get a new GPU to replace my used-6-times-GTX950). No issues with lag or owt?

No problems with lag, but I ran cat6a from PC upstairs -> router under stairs -> lounge tv when I had the carpet being replaced so it should be decent. Quite glad to be shot of wireless (mostly immature windows drivers to blame)
Steam link wouldn't stream to the mac specifically, it's more that it lets you stream to a monitor, so you get the £50 link and an HDMI cable and that screen is now a console, or so the blurb says. PC upstairs does all the heavy lifting and the link just throws the picture onto a new screen.

Ah, you bought one.
I've not used it much on FPS', but it works a treat on games like XCOM (tend to play while on the turbo). It's definitely a slick bit of kit.
I got the Steam Link too and despite a few teething problems where I didn't realise that it came with a Steam controller dongle built in, and couldn't figure how to fix the resolution (PC upstairs is 1440p, TV downstairs is 1080p) then it's been good too.
