Monolith Media Center (MonolithMC)
Monolith Media Center (MonolithMC) is offering up an pre-bulit, pre-installed system with MythTV (a popular Windows Media Center alturnative). This is aimed at individuals who don’t know enoug about system building and installing Linux on your own.
Models start at $650, and include a remote, an IRBlaster, and free electronic programming guide access. Specs range from a single analog tuner to dual HDTV tuners, and you can get a 400GB HDD and DVD burner as well. The 3.2GHz P4 CPU isn’t exactly cutting edge, but all the same, the Monolith box should be fine for someone who doesn’t want to mess with setup, and isn’t afraid to spend a bit more than they would otherwise.
