Media PCs

We’ve got to hand it to ‘em — these guys aren’t ashamed to be clearing out excess inventory, and honestly, we’re still fond of the choice. Sure, HD DVD may be defunct, but what’s the harm in having the capability in your HTPC should an old friend pop over with a disc to watch? All that aside, Kinetic UK’s trio of media center PCs are now shipping after being introduced initially in March, with Blu-ray / HD DVD compatibility, up to 6TB of storage space, Core 2 Duo / Core 2 Quad / Core i7 processor choices and a healthy array of CTO options elsewhere. As for prices, you’re looking at starting tags of £849.00 ($1,351) for the Mini HD:Hub, £1449.00 ($2,306) for the Home HD:Hub and £1569.00 ($2,497) for the flagship X HD:Hub.
