HP Pavilion Elite m9150f

[CES 2008] I remember the days where you had to drop $2500 to get a good Media Center PC. These days for $1160, you can get something like the m9150f: a high-end CPU, plenty of storage and a high-definition optical disc.

Just like for the AMD-based m8330f, the choice of using 3GB is a good one and the only thing that I would ask is: “why didn’t you integrate the Blue-Ray/HD-DVD combo drive found in the HP Slimline s3330f?”. Cost or volume (or both) might be the answer, but there’s also a regular DVD drive in there!

The m9150f is a pretty cool Media Center that makes me wonder if it’s worth the hassle to build a new one myself.The answeris “no”…if the m9150fissilent enough.
