Media Center PC: Compact and Power
TG Trust, the very well-known Korean PC manufacturer, has announced LITTLE LLUON – Media Center PC in the compact form-factor and nice specification:
- AMD Turion ML-32 CPU
- 512MB of DDR333
- DVD Combo
- nVidia 6200 128MB (On board)
- TV Tuner
- 4-in-1 memory card slot
- DVI, S-Video
The Media Center is supposed to work under XP Media Center Edition 2005. But I think that it’s good candidate to build HTPC based on VDR or MythTV. Also, taking into consideration that LITTLE LLUON includes nVidia graphic chipset it can be used as Media Director in the home automation system based on Plutohome.
The Media Center is noicseless and good looking. So, it won’t breack your living room interior. The price and availability is not listed yet.

[...] Once I already wrote about LITTLE LLUON – compact Media Center PC based on AMD Turion and nVidia. Here is a similar one from Philips – LX1000. Featuring a 1.8GHz AMD Turion 64, 1GB of RAM, a 120GB drive, integrated analog/digital TV tuner, WiFi, a dual-layer DVD burner, and NVIDIA GeForce 6600 graphics in a 195 x 58 x 212mm form factor, it can be a competitor of Mac Mini (in spite of its price), especially for Linux users.

[...] Home media centers in small form factor are very popular because they blend in compact dimensions and power of desktop PC. Samsung announced its version of this kind of PC – MX10. It’s very similar to LITTLE LLUON and Philips LX1000. The MX10’s got a Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, an ATI Xpress 1100 graphics card, and 200 to 250GB of storage. Its dimensions are 55mm*265mm*295mm. The rest information is missed. But I suspect that MX10 should also include IR port to control via remote, WiFi and maybe Bluetooth. [...]
