HTPCs

Simply put a Home Theatre Personal Computer is similar to your standard desktop computer, however it has been condensed into a small case perfect for positioning underneath that new 1080P TV you just purchased.

They are a cost effective solution to enabling high definition playback. These devices are equipped with a multitude of connections making them compatible with absolutely every TV, from Composite to the latest in HD connections; HDMI. They also include connections for audio passthrough to surround systems and with Blu-Ray drives, you can stay at the cutting edge. They possess either Wifi or Gigabit Ethernet connectivity.

These systems have progressed enough to include onboard graphics output capable of delivering full 1920x1080 HD video, so there is no need to purchase a costly seperate video card. A Freeview/cable card may also be installed, enabling them to be a full PVR system, recording those shows that you missed onto its built-in storage drive. With them having the exact same hardware and specifications as standard computer systems, they can be built and tuned individually to the client's satisfaction.

They also double up as a video games system, the hardware inside is generally powerful enough to play the latest games with very little lag.

Unlike conventional hard drive only units, they are also not limited to which interface you'd like to use. Whether it is Media Center on Windows, MythTV on Linux or Front Row on Mac OS X. These devices can also be installed with IR receivers to facilitate the use of a remote control, enabling them to be used just like a convential DVD player or set top box.

We offer a range of home theatre systems specifically designed to meet high definition standards.
