We just got word from S1Digital that the company has designed a new Media Center HTPC system from the ground up, featuring a custom designed, living room friendly chassis with silent heatpipe cooling technology. Overall the P500 the exterior looks pretty decent, but what’s under the hood is probably more impressive. According to the product page, the P500 can be equipped with up to 4 CableCARD HDTV or 2 ATSC/QAM and NTSC tuners. Standard you’ll get 3TB of RAID-5 storage, a Blu-ray drive (profile 2.0), Gigabit Ethernet, 4GB of memory, a Intel E8500 Core 2 Duo 3.0Ghz processor, ATI All-In-Wonder 3650 (with HDMI / DVI / Component / VGA video outputs), and a slick Logitech DiNovo Mini bluetooth keyboard / media center remote. With all that power under the hood, S1Digital says the P500 is capable of supporting “up to three zones of audio and video streaming (via Extenders or other Media Centers).” Starting Price: $5,999 (with no tuners).
