The last twelve months has seen the personal computer create a significant new niche for itself: that of a home entertainment system. The versatility and power of the PC combined with the wealth of new PC-based audio and video products means that the PC is now a very real and low-cost alternative to buying a separate DVD player, CD player, MP3 player, games console and video recorder. Combined with a video capture card and LCD monitor, the PC now even offers the chance of being a low cost flat-screen TV system - which remain beyond the reach of most consumers. This new role for the PC is helped in no small part by the recent appearance of small form factor (SFF) PCs on the market, that offer the same power of their larger cousins, but are packaged in a much smaller, elegant, case and are fitted with a low-noise cooling solution to allow them to sit comfortably in the family living room. | ||
