Apex's entertainment PC

It's always a mistake to write-off Apex's as just another maker of low-end consumer electronics, and the latest reason is their announcement that they will come out with a $799 entertainment PC, most likely one running on Microsoft's Windows XP Media Center Edition operating system. Just as Apex's $50 DVD player put pressure on Sony and other manufacturers to lower the prices on their machines, some sort of media/entertainment PC from Apex is likely have a similar effect on the PC market.
