HP's Pavilion Slimline s3330f PC does Blu-ray and HD DVD

by Darren Murph posted Jan 3rd 2008 at 12:23AM Breaking News


A slim PC destined to handle both of the major high-definition movie formats? Say it ain't so! Turns out, HP is indeed doling out such a machine, and it's so eloquently dubbed the Pavilion Slimline s3330f PC. Here's a look at what this mighty mini-tower will be packin':
  • 2.8GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor
  • 2GB of DDR2 RAM
  • 500GB 7,200 RPM SATA drive
  • HP Pocket Media Drive Bay
  • Single LightScribe-enabled optical drive that reads Blu-ray / HD DVD and writes to dual-layer DVDs
  • NVIDIA's 256MB GeForce 8500 GT
  • 802.11b/g WiFi
  • Built-in NTSC / ATSC TV tuners
  • Front-mounted 15-in-1 multicard reader
Furthermore, you'll find 6 USB 2.0 ports, FireWire, audio in / out, DVI / HDMI ports and a wireless keyboard / mouse bundled in along with a whole suite of software. Intrigued? Be on the lookout for this one to land later this month starting at $949.

Moneual intros sub-$1000 301 HTPC

You may be rather used to hearing from Moneual every few months or so, but the engineering department has apparently been on top of things lately. A mere three days after witnessing the firm's colorful lineup of Inovys, the company's 301 HTPC is being offered up as well, and we must say that the simple, sleek styling is quite attractive. Internally, you'll notice a water-cooled AMD 64 Athlon X2 4400 handling the processing duties, 2GB of RAM, 7.1-channel audio, dual FireWire ports, a 250GB hard drive, dual-layer DVD writer, HDMI / VGA outputs, five USB 2.0 connectors, Ethernet, and a wireless keyboard / remote to keep things tidy. Most impressive, however, is the price, as this decently-spec'd media PC will only run you $995 (sans any TV tuning abilities, of course).
