ASRock Vision 3D NetTop

[HardOCP News]

The ASRock Vision 3D NetTop just got a little review lovin’ from the folks at Phoronix today. The specs are pretty impressive, even if the price is a bit high:

The ASRock Vision 3D NetTop series packs in an ASRock HM55-based motherboard, an Intel Core i3 370M mobile processor, 4GB of DDR3-1066MHz system memory, a 500GB 7200RPM Serial ATA hard drive, Blu-ray disc combo drive, 7.1 channel HD audio with THX TruStudio Pro, USB 3.0 support, NVIDIA GeForce GT425M graphics, HDMI 1.4a support, Gigabit Ethernet, and integrated 802.11n WiFi support.

FINALLY a decent prebuilt media center. I was getting annoyed with all the media centers that were being built and sold with Atom processors. Sure, they can play BD and DVD fine, but I want to be able to customize without worrying about Atom's sluggishness. There was a decent one a few months ago but it wasn't available in the US I think. At least I couldn't find one.

Spoke too soon I think - they want $1000 USD for it. Ugh.

Anyone know of a case similar to the Asrock case with a built-in IR receiver?

Why IR? If anything else, RF would be more useful.

My Harmony One is IR.
