DISCover Makes Another Appearance...
This time it's from Alienware, though, not Apex:
http://www.alienware.com/product_det...de=SKU-DEFAULT It doesn't come cheap, though. Prices start at $1400.

That's pretty sweet, but for a starting price of $1400, I'd rather just build one using a Ahanix or Silverstone HTPC case myself.

Mebbe they mean you can hook your Xbox up to it and watch an picture-in-picture of a TV feed while the Xbox is going, or vice-versa. That wouldn't be too hard to do.

The page says the computer is running Windows XP Media Center edition, so they are probably just talking about the Xbox Media Extender. That lets you stream live TV from a Media Center Computer to the TV the Xbox is hooked up to.

Not exactly on the same level but it's about 1/3 to 1/2 of the price fully loaded.

400 dollars buys you the Digimatrix with built-in graphics and sound, no HD, no CPU, etc. And I've heard there's a crapload of problems with them, too.
Personally, I would prefer something more like this, (at least, if they could get that stupid handle taken off the top.): http://usa.asus.com/products/desktop...o/overview.htm

It's a shame. I really was going to build a HTPC (Silverstone case, they're darn sharp looking) but with them crashing left and right, I figured the wife would be pretty pissed off. For now, the average user is better off with a TiVO unit imo.
