Latest Shuttle XPC Boasts Blu-ray, HD DVD
April 11, 2008 | by Nick Mokey
In case your home movie library includes both formats, the XPC G5 3101M handles Blu-ray and HD DVD.
As further proof that HD DVD is dead but not forgotten, Shuttle launched a new home-theater PC this week that handles both Blu-ray and HD DVD discs. The XPC G5 3101M includes a single combo drive to play discs in both high-def formats, plus conventional DVD discs.
Besides the wide array of discs the 3101M will handle, it also gets a handful of other HTPC features including a TV tuner that handles DVB-T digital signals, an ATI HD 3450 256MB graphics card, and onboard 7.1-channel audio output. Other specs on the basic system include a Athlon 64 X2 4200+ processor, 2GB of DDR2-667 RAM, and a 320GB SATA hard drive.
The pre-configured system retails for €1091 ($1,716) on Shuttle’s European site, and doesn’t appear to have yet launched in other regions.
