Shuttle's Stylish Media PCs

I've had a first-hand look at the company's new m1000 and just-announced m2000 media xpc systems and I've got to say that they're among the best-looking I've seen.



The m1000 features an Intel Pentium M processor, NVidia GeForce 6600 LE graphics, 512MB of DDR SO-DIMM memory and a 250GB hard disk with the option of a second 80GB drive. Also included are a 4x dual layer DVD writer, dual analogue TV-tuner and an 802.11b/g Wi-Fi module.

Windows Media Center Edition 2005 remote is included along with a stylish remote and wireless keyboard with integrated track ball for mouse control. The $1899 m1000 is now available for order.

The m2000 features an Intel Core Duo MT1400 (1.83GHz) processor, 512MB memory and is Intel Viiv certified. Its specs will be similar to the m1000 but will allow extras such as a modular hard disk and dual HDTV tuners.
