eMachines has announced a new line of “Affordable High Performance PCs” including the T6520 Media Center PC which will cost $599 off of their website. The system will include an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ processor, ATI Radeon Xpress 200 graphics, support for Direct X 9.0, 200GB HDD, 1GB of RAM, 8 in 1 media card reader, and two optical drives. Unfortunately the system will not have a TV tuner which seems to defeat the purpose of having an MCE system. Luckily TV Tuners are cheap and can be easily upgraded by the user. Heck – I’d get this system and then strip out the components to be used in my own custom system.
