If you like your PC to look like retro audio gear you’ll want to check out the Onkyo APX-2 HD audio PC. Onkyo and SOTEC, the Japanese PC manufacturer partnered up on the new APX-2 HD audio PC.

It comes with a Core 2 Duo T5500 @ 1.66GHz, 1 GB of RAM, 500GB of HDD, a digital audio amplifier, an HDD that is stored in a Super Floating HDD Unit, and a noise cancellation box (22dB max) as well as Vista’s volume mixer function and installed Pure Direct Audio Path (PDAP) to prevent audio loss from poor HD audio support. Onkyo worked hard to ensure the APX-2 is as silent as possible. If it sounds as beautiful as it looks, then I’m game.
