    Yeah, just install the Steam client on both computers. Just log on, and the option to install it on the computer will appear.

    That is what I have going on. And plus if you already bought HL2 and Episode 1, then since your buying the Orange Box, Valve is allowing you to send to a friend a code so they can download the full game of both for free.
