Pelham Sloane shows off 17-inch touchscreen media PC

Pelham Sloane is making the rounds with its new 17-inch touchscreen PC, the successor to the company's earlier 15-inch model. And from the looks of things, the specs of the new model take a big bump up, including the addition of Windows XP Media Center Edition as the standard OS (XP Pro, which was standard on the earlier model, is still available as an option), along with a Pentium M at up to 2.26 GHz, hard drive capacities of up to 500GB, VGA and component output, and a PCI-based tuner. Given that this box will run for up to $3,000, we wish they'd included DVI output so we'd have more flexibility when using this as a touchscreen base for a larger display. Nevertheless, this could be a decent media PC solution for small rooms, or even a good desktop option for a home office.
