HP may have decided to stop selling media center PCs designed to fit in your living room, but the company is adding some serious digital video punch to two upcoming desktops.The m8010y and d4890y desktops will include Intel Q6600 Core 2 quad processors, NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS graphics, and a combo Blu-Ray/HD-DVD drive. To top things off, they'll come with an optional ATI TV Wonder Digital Cable Tuner.
I can't imagine these PCs will run under $1500 to $2000, and at that price, you might as well slip them into a fancy case and stick them next to the TV. But it might be nice to pick up one of these machines for the office so you can use it as a workhorse and PVR at the same time. Then you just use your Xbox 360 media center extender in the living room.
