MSI's Home Theatre PC Reviewed

VL writes "MSI, long time motherboard and video card manufacturer, has upped the ante somewhat with their MSI Entertainment and Gaming (MEGA 651) PC. Like other popular SFFs, the MEGA 651 is still "cube" in appearance, and offers support for fast CPUs and an AGP slot, but it has some unique ideas that target those specifically looking into building a Home Theater PC (HTPC).

  1. Cube? by diospadre · · Score: 5, Funny

    You gotta love how companies like Shuttle, MSI, and Nintendo are slowly changing the definition of the word cube into "randomly sized box."

    Then again, the movie changed it to "crap", so maybe this is a good thing.

    It amazes me how every time a HTPC is mentioned, it always lacks compenent video output. This is the year of HD after all, let's make use of it.
