Okoro intros updated low-profile OMS-SX100 media center

Okoro apparently doesn't have much time for design changes, or even model name changes, but the company has at least seen fit to give its low-profile OMS-SX100 a considerable spec-bump and, apparently, a reduction in power consumption. That latter bit seems to come largely as a result of the low-wattage AMD Athlon X2 4850e processor at the heart of the system, which gets backed up by 2GB of RAM, a 500GB hard drive (upgradeable to 1TB), 8-channel LPCM audio via HDMI, NVIDIA 8200 graphics, and an optional Blu-ray drive, to name a few features. The company is also promising CableCARD and SAGETV HDPVR models in the future, but if that's beyond your needs, you can snag the current model right now for $1695.

" you can snag the current model right now for $1695."

Is that a mistake or does low-profile not mean what I thought it meant?

Wow, Very nice! I would rather make my own though. But this would be great for our media center. I need to do something like this someday.

That price tag is a joke.

EXACTLY! Are you paying $500 for the enclosure??? C'mon, they must be crazy!

Oh, and with the Blu-Ray drive it is $2170
