When I think about custom PCs, “Alienware” is the name that pops in my mind. I knew little about Evesham until they came out with their “e-box” Media Center 2005 PC.
It’s a cute box that would blend with your HDTV 61″ Samsung DLP TV… (note that I say yours, not mine :'( ). So the point is: it will look good in your living room.
Windows Media Center 2005 introduced the Dual TV Tuner capability. It means that you can record two shows at the same time. The Evesham e-box has indeed two TV Tuners.
Evesham claims that it is a silent PC, but given the number of fans (3), I’m a little bit worried about that… (specs in the Full Post)
