Philips Easylife LX3000 CORE 2 DUO 1.66GHZ T5200 250GB

* Lots of power in a tiny package. * It's stylish looks mean it doesn't look out of place in a modern TV stand. * Comes with an excellent, high quality keyboard with built-in tracker ball. * Also comes with an equally excellent and high quality MCE...

* Lack of built-in IR receiver for the remote control. Instead you must use the supplied bulky receiver that has a USB connection. * When the DVD-RW drive can't play a bad sector on a DVD, it spins up incredibly fast and loud and will continue to do so...

Looks great and is fast for running vista for general and media centre usage.

Keyboard batteries don't last very long.
