This home entertainment center in a box is just as much TV and TiVo-like device as PC. Running next generation Microsoft Media Center PC software, the Media Center allows you to connect your cable or satellite dish and watch/record and playback TV on your PC.
But that’s not all, as the latest Media Center adds a unique camera dock on top of its tower for uploading pictures from select HP cameras, a super sleek flat panel monitor for viewing and a DVD/R/RW for burning your favorite shows. Another cool feature is its 6-in-1 card reader which can read almost any of the removable storage media on the market today. A great all around PC for those who want to add a little entertainment to the mix, the Media Center is powered by top of the line processors and loaded with all the memory and connectivity of its much higher priced counterparts.
