Evesham shrinks Media PC
The living room is the next big battle ground for PCs and
consumer electronics. Media PCs are just starting to take off because frankly,
they look more like DVD players than PCs and are relatively easy to use.
Evesham is hoping that making its Media PC even less obtrusive will boost home
sales even further. Meet the Evesham Mini, courtesy of its recent deal with
AOpen, which has designed and built this uncanny Mac Mini look-alike. It
certainly wins style points and measuring 16.5 x 16.5 x 5cm, means it’s the
smallest Media Center PC in the world. 
It is available in 40GB and 80Gb versions, powered by Intel's 2GHz Pentium M 760 processor or a Celeron M 360. It will run
Windows XP Media Center Edition and sports a dual-layer DVD-RW drive with
connectivity consisting of USB, FireWire, DVI, TV, Gigabit Ethernet, S-Video,
microphone and speaker ports. There is no monitor, keyboard or mouse. So, while
this may look like the Mac Mini, the price does not. Mac Mini prices start at £359
and run to £499. The 40GB version of this will cost £499, leaping to £699 for
the 80GB version.
