MvixUSA S2 and S4 HTPCs making their way to the market

MvixUSA has revealed that they will be rolling out two more HTPCs (Home Theatre PCs) to the US market in due time – the S2 and S4. What sets both machines apart would be the total amount of drive bays – with the S2 sporting two (you guessed it earlier, didn’t you?) while the S4 has double that amount. These are hot-swappable bays, which basically allow you to switch out media drives without having to open up the case and perform some sort of hardware surgery. Shared specifications and features include a Blu-ray drive, a TV tuner, RAID, Wi-Fi (802.11a/b/g/n) connectivity, HDMI out, Bluetooth 2.0 support, six USB 2.0 ports, an eSATA port, a bundled remote and 2GB RAM. One potential drawback to either machine might be its processor, which is a dual-core Intel Atom 330. You might want to look into performing some DIY upgrades yourself then, as the S2 and S4 will retail for $999 and $1,599, respectively.
