Some specs to start: TV tuner, four USB 2.0 ports, two FireWire ports, headphone and microphone jacks, digital audio-out port (S/PDIF), S-Video in, FM antenna (for hooking up a live analogue TV feed), video-, audio- and line-in ports, Memory Stick slot, Type II PC Card slot, 10/100Base-TX NIC, V.92 modem, infrared port, and built-in 802.11b/g (dedicated on/off switch at right-side of unit).

The system is run by for by a 3.20GHz Prescott Intel Pentium 4 processor, older Intel 865PE chipset, 512MB of DDR400 system memory (upgradable to 1GB), 250GB hard disk (7200rpm), nVidia GeForce FX Go5700 GPU, and a slimline DVD±RW recorder.

When not being used as a computer the system, of course, doubles as a TV and TiVo type unit running Media Center 2005.

I'm a big fan of Media PC's and it looks like Sony has put together another excellent, but expensive, package. Running about $2000 for the 17" model and $2700 for the 20". Click on the headline for the Sony Style site.
