In the Charts: Media Center 2005 PCs
Take Center Stage Among Desktops

In the Charts: Media Center 2005 PCs
Take Center Stage Among Desktops 12/29/2004 11:54 AM
This month's Top 15 Desktop PCs chart highlights two trends: the emergence of powerful new gaming systems that have sophisticated style, and the rapidly growing selection of Media Center PCs, which expand PC-based home entertainment beyond gaming. Examples of the former are two new Athlon-fueled machines that sit atop the power section of our chart: Alienware's Aurora 64 FX-55 and ABS's Ultimate M5-64. Both of these systems are visually appealing without shouting "I'm just for games." Not only are they the two fastest systems on the chart, but they also produced outstanding sound with their high-end Creative Sound Blaster Audigy 2 cards and their 5.1-channel Logitech speakers (the X-530 and the Z-680, respectively).

HP New Media Center and Desktop PCs

HP New Media Center and Desktop PCs 03/29/2005 05:42 PM

HP's new Media Center PC has more than a passing resemblance to the Mac mini, which might be on purpose, considering the new units include optional box-top docking stations for the iPod (much like the Mac mini was rumored to have had in development). Whether you see it or not, the silver and white is a welcome deviation from standard PC fare, although HP's Media Center PCs in particular have been mightly nice looking of late.

The new case design will be featured on both the Media Center PCs as well as the new desktop vanilla versions. The entry-level model is above, and the Media Center version is after the jump. (Thanks, Matt!)

Now this might get confusing, but please just stay with us on this: the Moka Media Center PC doesn't run Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system, but it does have one useful feature that none of the official Media Centers PCs have -- you can watch DVDs or TV or listen to CDs or the radio on it without actually having to boot it up first.

Amitech Media Center PC

Amitech Media Center PC 08/09/2004 09:46 AM

There's nothing rotten about this Danish-born Amitech media center, a small form factor PC with a built-in FM radio and TV tuner that can record both television shows, radio, and CDs. And while the specs look pretty good, with a 3-gigahertz Pentium 4 in the nougaty center, the best part is the price: the Amitech Media Center should retail for under $1,000 USD.

My Danish is a little bit cheesed, but I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that the unit, while running Windows XP, does not run Windows Media Center. If any of you can parse the Danes' internetstik I'd be happy to take corrections. (Thanks, Jakub!)

Alienware is innovating again, this time with an all-in-one, wall-mountable 30-inch TFT/LCD widescreen TV with an integrated Windows Media Center PC inside. Al ienware DHD systems, which are based on Hy-Tek's TekPanel 300 enclosure, will feature “Intel Pentium 4 processors up to 3.4 GHz and the Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 operating system. ATI Radeon graphics, configurable up to X800 XT Platinum Edition with 256MB DDR3 video RAM, and optical drives up to 12x DVD±R/RW, provide an unparalleled cinematic experience. Dolby Digital 5.1 surround sound completes the package with superior audio quality.”

We not sure how popular this type of TV/PC combo device will be, but “Microsoft is excited about the introduction of Alienware DHD systems,” said Brad Brooks, Director of Marketing for the Windows XP Consumer Product Line at Microsoft Corp. “The integration of Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 within a self-contained, multi-functional LCD panel is a great example of the innovative designs that consumers are demanding that change the way they can experience digital media in the home.”

At first glance, this TV/PC concept may seem very appealing, but will consumers be ready to spend $6,500 - 8,000 on a flat panel TV that will have an outdated computer components inside it in the next two to three years?

Who Needs A DVD When You Have A
Microsoft Media Center? 07/14/2004 05:22 AM
Well, I'm sure some folks will make a bigger deal out of this than necessary, but Bill Gates is now claiming that the DVD has no future. He believes in 10 years it will be completely obsolete. As he says, it makes no sense for people to be carrying around portable media that can get scratched, lost or broken. While the Inquirer then knocks Gates by pointing out he once predicted the internet had no future either, this prediction really isn't that ridiculous. As overall storage and broadband connections grow, it may become pointless to ever carry around a DVD. Some might say the process has already started (though, with questionable legality in some circles). Of course, what isn't mentioned is that Gates hopes that what used to be your DVD collection will, instead, reside on a Microsoft powered "Media Center" that you can access from anywhere.
