Digital Home Thoughts: First Pictures Of The Tranquil iLX HTPC

"Bringing beauty, power, efficiency and reliability to your desktop. Designed from the ground up, to provide a reliable and fan less cooling system for the power user, the ixL Power PC can process any application with ease. High definition video, complex 3D rendering, or just writing a letter - just do it. The fitted i3-530 CPU is Intel's latest 'power' CPU - so expect stunning performance."

Tranquil are famous for making silent PC's, and when it comes to media center pc's silence is what you need. This latest HTPCt from Tranquil packs a fair bit of power in to what I consider to be a very nice case. You can choose from an Intel Core i3 or i5 chip to give you the power you need, onboard intel HD graphics, HDMI and DVI connections as well as optical digital line out. The slot optical drive can be DVD or Bluray, whichever you choose. All in all, a very nice little package.
