Axio HTPC Media Center
Computers have evolved. Today's computer systems can play multimedia content from CDs, DVDs, Blu-ray, your home network, or the Internet. The latest technologies have spawned a plethora of networked media products, from TV services to streaming devices, each designed to do a specific job, a mere subset of what a computer can do. So, the question needs to be asked: why not just use a computer as the center of your home theater?

The Axio Media Center is a cost-effective, space-saving home theater solution.

With an Axio Media Center, the Internet has arrived in your living room. From the latest YouTube video to full-legnth TV shows and movies, from Amazon and iTunes downloads to streaming Sirius XM content, it's all at your fingertips (and on your high definition TV) with a wireless keyboard/mousepad or a Gyration air mouse. Of course, you can also browse the web, check your e-mail, or anything else you can do with a computer.

But that is not all. A media center can replace your DVD, Blu-ray and CD players; add a card reader for viewing photos, or a TV capture card for watching and recording broadcast content; copy CDs and DVDs, or store content for distribution throughout the house; plug in a webcam for Skype and other video chat services. The possibilities are endless.

Looking to the future, new technologies and features can be easily integrated into an Axio Media Center: internal cards and components can be installed (as with any computer), and external devices can be plugged in via USB, IEEE1394 (FireWire) or eSATA.

So why don't more people use a computer as the center of their home theater? The answer is one of convenience rather than capability: for a computer to be welcome in the living room, it needs to blend in with your home theater equipment and be unobtrusive. We've got that covered - the Axio Media Center looks like a high-end home theater component (in black or silver), and advanced cooling techniques can be incorporated to reduce fan noise.
