Okoro's Core Duo-powered OMS-LX100 HTPC

Apr 11th 2006 2:12PM on Engadget

We published an article today about Media Centre PC's at High Tech Home Magzine.

"Perhaps the MCPC is conceptually flawed and its greatest strength is inextricably linked to the very factor which inhibits its wide spread market penetration. Quite simply, all the power of a PC may seem like overkill for many users in the front room."

I think this looks like a good product. I need to have a look at the picture it displays though.

Dell's 2007WFP 20-inch widescreen now available

Apr 3rd 2006 6:33PM on Engadget

my screen is 16x10 (hense the "widescreen" in my last comment)
It's only got resolution of 1440x900 but for someone who uses 1600x1200 on a 4:3 19" normally I don't find it too bad.
I know it's far from the greatest monitor on earth but it is incredible value and the image is great.

Dell's 2007WFP 20-inch widescreen now available

I considered buying this recently, then i found a 19" widescreen LCD from Acer, it's nowhere near in terms of quality but it's really not bad for half the price.
The whole thing was �178 including delivery and tax and the Dell is �330. Still it does look nice.

Maybe they are developing it as an industry only product that will be used by custom AV installers like myself.
There are a lot of products/brands that most consumers don't know about (or certainly can't buy in the local electronics store)
The products are used by industry professionals on the high end installs, they are usually very exclusive and very expensive.
There's a lot of info on this kind of thing on my site http://www.hightechhomemag.com if you want to knwo more about Smart-Homes and custom installation.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"For a long time I have been searching for a portable device where I can store all of my CDs in MP3 format and stream the songs wirelessly to my HiFi system. The portable device must I've tried FM transmitters, they all suck. I don't want a docking station. Any help? Thanks!" have a display so that I easily can scroll through the playlists (I don't want to use a TV or monitor). I suppose that there must also be a second device that is connected to the HiFi system that would receive the wireless streams from the portable device.
