Awesome Media Center

Barely 1″ thick, Piixl’s EdgeCenter 3770 is an HTPC that mounts behind a 37″-70″ flat panel TV; it maxes out with dual Xeons, 2 TB HDD, 24GB RAM, 1GB ATI HD-5850, and Blu-ray RW.

Boxee lands a one-two punch with the heavily revamped Beta (due out 1/7/2010) and D-Link’s Boxee Box (2Q 2010); the latter features HDMI out, Wi-Fi, ethernet and two USB ports.
