Fujitsu-Siemens Scaleo E is a home media PC which became very popular lately. Scaleo E looks nice (it won’t break an interior of your living room) and features:
- Intel Pentium 4 630 (3GHz)
- 1GB of Ram
- Intel 915 chipset
- Integrated graphics
- 250GB hard drive
- Dual layer DVD writer
- Outputs: 2 Scart, S-video, DVI, VGA outputs
- Inputs: S-video, composite
- Windows XP Media Center Edition
- 430 x 425m x 100m (w x d x h)
- 15kg
One of the most important parameters of home media PC is noise level. Scaleo E quiet enough but the noise increase when a DVD is spinning or the fans need to crank up to cool down the processor. The price of the Fujitsu-Siemens media PC is about $1400. It’s more expensive then ordinary PC which can be easy transformed to the PVR and made quiet enough for living room. Certainly, to do that you should have necessary technical knowledge and free time 🙂
