Elonex offers up Cube Play boombox, eXentia pro all-in-one PC

It's been nearly three years since Elonex delivered its original eXentia Media Center PC, but now the firm is hitting back with a new iteration along with an interesting boombox. The £999 ($2,045) eXentia pro all-in-one PC (pictured after the jump) boasts a 22-inch LCD and packs a 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E4500 processor, 1GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, DVD writer, integrated WiFi / Bluetooth and Windows Vista. As for the Cube Play (£179; $366), you'll find a fairly standard looking home stereo system with an eye-catching seven-inch LCD stuffed right in the middle of the action. What's that for, you say? Probably for you to check out DVDs or OTA Freeview broadcasts courtesy of the built-in DVD player and DVB TV tuner, that's what. Furthermore, the unit packs AV outputs, a USB port for loading up media, an FM tuner and a wireless remote. We'd say you could go on and pick up either right away, but both look to be out of stock for the time being.

[Thanks, Alex]

i just want a shelf boom box system that has a hard drive that I can swap out (cuz they always put some little ones in) and recognizes mp3s in folders

and it should cost the same as a pc

if a decent shelf system cost $150 with speakers and all, im not gonna pay 700+ dollars cuz you threw a 20 dollar 60gb hard drive in it

companies need to go back to simple

You need to go back to school, and learn what grammar, punctuation, and capitalization is.

On topic, the screen, speakers, and DAC in that boombox are most likely complete shit.

^^ i would settle for an HDD media player that does optical out.. the last one to do that was an iRiver model i think. Gimme, gimme optical out.

@ Gor

Look for an old Mac Mini, optical in and out, you can pick up an old G4 for 325 nowadays.

Hey Jesse S: You need to change "is" to "are." You're welcome.

1Gb RAM???? Shouldn't it be time to add an extra one dude?

[John M @ Oct 22nd 2007 5:11PM]

For that price tag I would just build a better version that isnt all in one

[Robert Johnston @ Oct 22nd 2007 5:43PM]

I think you'll find the whole point is the all-in-oneness of the unit. Good for use as a POS (Point-Of-Sale) unit, or some other area where desk space is at a premium.

Their Elonex Cube Play reminds me of the Yamada seven-inch LCD HTV-200XU boombox.
