C|Net Reviews Gateway FMC-901X Media Center
Posted by Kent Pribbernow in "HARDWARE" @ 07:00 AM
"Finally, there's a Media Center PC that fits in with your other entertainment-center components. The $1,799 Gateway FMC-901X Family Room Media Center is primed for entertainment and computer performance. You'll need to provide your own speakers and display (or purchase them separately from Gateway), but you'll likely find a port for whatever you'd like to plug into the FMC-901X. The remote control and the wireless keyboard and mouse mean that you can access digital photos, MP3s, and recorded TV shows stored on the PC without having to give up your seat on the couch."
Personally, I'm not exactly turned on (pardon the pun) by Media Center PCs. If I want PVR functionality, why not just get a Tivo and be done with it? Am I missing something? Is there some aspect to MCPC that is just waiting to change my life and I don't realize it yet?
