New Media Center Computer
My new computer is an HP with a core 2 duo processor, 2 GB of memory, a TV tuner card, FM radio, DVD burner, lots of input and output connectors, and a dock (bottom, left) where I can add and remove extra hard drives without turning the computer off.
I waited until the Vista operating system was released before buying.
