Extending its reach into the digital home market, Premio Computer announced the Premio Media Center PC.

Preinstalled with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, the Premio Media Center is a versatile, comprehensive solution for media and home entertainment applications.

With the Premio Media Center with Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005, users can control live television, create video recording and digital photos, enjoy digital music, video, games and more, all with one remote control.

Encased in a dark gray, 17.5" x 16.6" x 5.5", 14-lb. chassis, the Premio Media Center supports Intel Pentium 4 processors up to 3.2GHz. Integrated features include a 7-in-1 Media card reader, TV tuner, remote control, on-board audio, 10/100 Ethernet LAN, IEEE1394 (FireWire) and dual USB2.0 ports.

Customers can customize their Premio Media Center, with the choice of premium NVIDIA E-GeForce or ATI Radeon video cards, DVD or DVD+/-RW double-layer drives, 160G or 250G SATA drives, and an optional 802.11G wireless module. The system also offers distinctive features not found on many other media center PCs, such as optional removable drive, optional speakers and dual-inlet power supply.
