Sharp Mebius PC-TX32J AV Center desktop

By Thomas Ricker

Sharp just gave a bump to their existing AV center PCs. The Mebius PC-TX32J comes loaded with Windows XP Home Edition SP2 and features a slightly faster Celeron (2.8 instead of 2.66 GHz) and DVD drive sporting dual-layer support. Unfortunately, they chose not to increase the 250GB
drive, restricting most TV recording to the DVD if you really want this to double as a home PC. The LCD TV gets a bigger boost up from 26 to a decent 32-inches and now goes, er, both-ways with Picture-in-Picture: TV-in-PC or PC-in-TV. Another bonus, the TV and PC both host a tuner so you no longer have to wait for the PC to boot to get your boob (tube) on. Expect shipping to start (in Japan) sometime in late June for around 330,000 yen ($3,070US).
