ZT Affinity 7225Xi Multimedia Desktop PC Review

What do you need that box for anyway, the All in one HP TouchSmart IQ816 HTPC

All in one computers, especially in the HTPC and Multimedia PCs arena have been slow to fruition, ( I think mainly due to their struggling little brother, the all in one tablet.), but I think that the new HP TouchSmart IQ816 might change that by setting a new standard in convenience and utility for the market. At 1920x1200 resolution and just over $2000, this fully functioning Intel Core 2 Duo powered LCD masterpiece adorn the walls of board rooms and living rooms alike worldwide. Now that I am done singing its praises, there were a few things that I feel were overlooked (or should I say forsaken) if the want people to truly be happy with their HTPC centerpiece. I regret to inform that it ships out with only 750 GB of hard drive storage....

This Media Center is Branded Apple but is 100% Nvidia, and that's a good thing

Out of the 4 models that the iMac series comprises, I always look forward to see what changes the creaters at Apple are going to throw into their top of the line 24 inchers. Long being the choice of illustrators and other graphics junkies, the Apple brand has always attracted somewhat of a demanding graphics crowd, and this time I think the mob will be well satisfied. In fact, I would go out on a limb and say that if you do not know how to make your graphics cards work for their dinner, then you might as well get one of the less expensive iMacs, as they are all great looking Media Center PCs, and If your not looking to be the next Pixar studios, then the extra $1000 might buy you one heck of a DVD collection....

The Gateway LX6200-01 HTPC on a budget

This sub $1000 HTPC comes in a sleek and unobtrusive version of the Gateway FX6800-01e case housing (minus some of the flashier points). This proved to be a great option for this budget machine, as the 750 GB hard drive that comes standard with this machine might not be enough for the media geek who saves every video they edit or come across to their storage system. The AMD Phenom Quad Core CPU is multimedia friendly, but is not a gaming screamer. Performance for this CPU is adequate, though not spectacular, and might perform sub-par if not sticking to media editing and venture off into gaming. More memory might be the first though, but with 8GB already under the hood, and nor room for DIMM addition, this thought is fleeting at best....

Media Center Reviews - The iBuyPower Video Pro Quad Core video workstation

The iBuyPower Video Pro, though containing Intel's quad core CPU was never meant to be a gaming system. The video Pro is exactly as its name implies, a professional standard hobbyists machine with the video enthusiasts in mind. Starting at just under $2000, that's multimedia Center fits comfortably between budget and high end pricing. Packed with 8 GB of memory, most consumers might feel this is overkill, until they turn their high in Intel core 2 Quad processor on their first video editing project, and it seems quite normal after that. Housed in the Gigabyte Poseidon 310 case, If the dual 500 GB SATA drives and ATI Radeon HD 4850 GPU, Blu-Ray and DVD burners prove to be inadequate (fat chance), then there is plenty of room for further expansion down the road....
