Okoro Media Systems launches low profile OMS-SX100

Hot on the heels of Okoro Media Systems' LX100, the company is offering yet another low(er)-end option with slightly less powerful innards, but housed in a very sexy, slim case. The OMS-SX100 is the latest addition to the company's wide array of HTPC offerings, and sports a sleek, black enclosure that should fit in nicely with your other AV devices (except maybe that impending Nintendo Wii). It comes packed with a 1.67GHz Intel Core Due T2300 Yonah CPU, 1GB of DDR2 RAM, integrated Intel 950 graphics, 250GB SATA drive, 16x dual-layer DVD burner, 8-channel audio, gigabit Ethernet, USB OTA HDTV tuner, and a vanilla (read: unspecified) internal TV tuner -- you'll also find a plethora of ports, including VGA, HDCP-friendly HDMI, S-Video, composite, FireWire, optical audio, and USB 2.0. Okoro also gives you the option of Windows Media Center 2005 or a customized SageTV setup with Windows XP Home / Professional, as well as tossing in a wireless "mini-keyboard" and an IR / RF remote. Touting specs like that, you knew this bad boy would get that (still) mysterious Intel VIIV seal of approval, and with a pricetag showing just $1,350, this media PC shouldn't put too much strain on the bank account.

Too bad the integrated Intel graphics aren't going to help drive HD video for those outputs. That seems pretty shortsighted.
