DPandA High Performance Windows 7 Media Centre

A Media Centre is a powerful personal computer that is specially designed for receiving and recording High Definition Digital TV and all digital media in a single device.

It has to be quiet, and aesthetically pleasing, to fit into the lounge room or home theatre environment.

The DPandA High Performance Windows 7 Media Centre is packed with features at an affordable price.

The picture quality of High Defintion Digital TV is simply superb. This is complimented by High Defintion Digital Surround audio.

Because the the system is a powerful Windows 7 based PC, the potential for fine adjustment and expansion is virtually unlimited.

Compare this to set top boxes and media players that are ultimately restricted in what they can achieve!
