If you're gonna get a PC for your living room, you might as well go all out and get one that supports the new high-def DVDs. Starting at $2,995, Okoro's BX100 and BX300 can read both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs from a single drive. And that's not all—they're packing some serious tech inside too.
They're built around a Intel Core 2 Duo (T7200 or E6600), come with 2GB of RAM standard, up to 1TB of storage and HDCP output via Nvidia's GeForce 8600 GTS video card. My one complaint is they're a little boxy on the eyes, but solid buys otherwise.

Not to mention this will look good next to my 1972 record player, both of which will be setting in my cardboard box in the alley after I blow all my rent money for electronics.
They are just Silverstone cases with stuff packed inside.
They could have at least taken the Silverstone logos off.
I agree. For $3,000 they should throw in an "Okoro" case badge. Am I the only one who dislikes that plastic wood panel in the middle of the black case? When are they going to replace those VFDs with full color SideShow panels?
Esthetically speaking, the biggest drawback I have about building my own HTPC is having logos that are not matched with other Home Theater components. I wonder if I could build my own using the same case and specs for cheaper? Also, separate optical disk drives for each spec would be beneficial for copying Disks...
