Evesham's latest Windows Media Center PC - the e-box3, due May - is based around an Athlon 64 CPU and designed to fit in among other standard-size boxes that live under a TV set. Prices start at £699, including VAT and Evesham's three-year Gold warranty.
The e-box3 is said to "combine PC, TV, DVD and hi-fi capabilities into one simple system" and be "ultra quiet". Its case is black, has a brushed aluminium fascia and measures 430(w) x 288(d) x98(h)mm - a similar size to standard hi-fi components.
Personal video recorder functionality is provided by a single hybrid digital/analogue TV tuner but there's a £100 option of choosing twin tuners - two digital or two analogue - that allow one channel to be recorded while watching another or the recording of two while watching a pre-recorded programme.
