Epson trots out tiny ST120 HTPC, finds room for Blu-ray / TV tuner

Man, talk about a much needed refreshing. Last we recall, Epson was eliciting "awws" from window shoppers who just couldn't get over how delightfully cute its Endeavor ST100 micro PC was. Fast forward two years, and here we have the equally tiny (albeit entirely more useful) ST120. The all-black box comes equipped with a 2.26GHz Core 2 Duo P8400 CPU, 1GB of RAM, 80GB of hard drive space, an HDMI output, a Blu-ray writer and a digital TV tuner. Too bad the loaded configuration we just spouted off rings up at ¥137,500 ($1,531), but those with less lavish lifestyles can opt for a DVD model that starts at "just" ¥65,100 ($725).

Umm... yep. In fact Epson introduced the worlds first true laptop that was considered portable in November 1981... the Epson_HX-20. They also make digital cameras.

Epson is on dope. You can build your own for less money, more capacity, and more uses.

Hey cypherstream, Epson also makes 1080P home theater projectors as well. In fact, they've been making home theater projectors for years. Time to step outside of the box? :)
