Not pleased with any of HP's other offerings? Fret not, as we've got yet another one coming your way. The Pavilion Elite m9150f PC comes ready to handle those HD DVD / PVR duties, and it may even withstand a e-mail or two. Here's the dirt:

• 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Quad Q6600 processor
• Intel's G33 Express chipset
• 3GB of DDR2 RAM
• Dual 360GB (720GB total) 7,200 SATA hard drives
• HP's Personal / Pocket Media Drive Bays
• HD DVD (read-only) drive
  
• LightScribe-enabled SuperMulti DVD burner
• Gigabit Ethernet / 802.11b/g WiFi
• NTSC / ATSC / FM tuners
• HP Media Center remote control with IR receiver
• Front-mounted 15-in-1 multicard reader

If you couldn't already guess, this one also packs six USB 2.0 ports, twin FireWire sockets, audio in / out, a wireless keyboard / mouse combo and HDMI / DVI outputs. As with HP's other newly announced media PCs, the m9100 series is set to ship this month and start at $1,159.
