Cannon PC EX series

I saw this popup on Engadget earlier today and figured it was worth a re-post as it’s pretty damn cool looking and even though it does run Vista, and you all know how much I’m hating on Vista, I’d kind of like it at my house now.

For those of you who are a bit ‘non-tech’ like my old man, essentially this guy will replace your dvd player, your hard drive recorder, and it’ll even manage all your media, ie. mp3, video, etc. plus I think you can even load it up like a normal PC, get yourself a wireless keyboard and mouse and you’ve got a pretty awesome computer on top of a pretty solid home media system.

The price however is a little scary! RRP of around $5900 USD, so expect it to cost 10k by the time it lands in Australia. For that price I can buy stick an Apple TV in every room in my house along with a Drobo to handle the extra storage.

Anyway, if I didn’t scare you off with the price check out the full specs on Cannon’s website.
