Why should I buy a Home Theater PC (HTPC) instead of a generic desktop computer?

Home Theater PCs (HTPCs) are specifically designed to be used in conjunction with an HDTV and home theater setup. Careful component selection allows the NinX HTPC to have superior performance and yet be virtually silent and energy efficient. HDMI output allows you to easily connect both video and audio to your HDTV. All models have large capacity, ultra-quiet hard drives. 8 channel high-definition surround sound audio comes standard. Wireless N adapter provides smooth streaming Internet TV and movies. Stylish HTPC cases make your NinX Media PC look like another A/V component instead of a computer. Front-panel LCD display looks really cool and provides remote on/off and other functionality. Standard HTPC add-ons include Blu-Ray/DVD Combo Drive, TV Tuner, and 24-bit True Blu-Ray Sound Card.  more
