If you’re short on desk space but still need big computer power, the Acer Aspire 360 mini-tower might be just what the decorator ordered.  This PC is small in stature but doesn’t lack power, because it’s built around an AMD Athlon 64 4200+ processor and a huge 1024MB (1GB) of RAM.  Having that much RAM can make an incredible difference in graphics quality and computing speed, so you’ll immediately appreciate the improvement.  Not to be out-shadowed, this mini-tower also has a gigantic 250GB hard drive.  This is a computer package which should be able to serve you well for years to come.

Because this is a Windows Media Center PC, it’s full of hardware which can take full advantage of Media Center’s best features.  There’s integrated video and Realtek ALC850 AC97 integrated audio.  There’s a nine-in-one memory card reader for transferring data to and from items like digital cameras and portable music players.  Two integrated IEEE 1394 FireWire ports will allow you to hook up some cool exernal items, like video cameras, and the six USB ports give you plenty of room for all sorts of other handy devices, like your cell phone.  The best Media Center feature of all, though, is the DVD±RW DL drive (see, I was keeping the best for last).  Hook your digital video camera up to the Firewire port, capture the video using Windows Media Center, and then save the resulting movies on your DVD burner drive.  The possibilities are endless.  Did I mention you get a free pair of stereo speakers, too>

At a price of just $439.95, with free shipping, this is an excellent purchase from Eagle Computer.
