HP Digital Entertainment Center z560 + Lots of Extras!

Serendipity

For sale is a HP Digital Entertainment Center z560 HTPC in excellent condition. It comes with the wireless keyboard/mouse, Windows Media Center remote control, WiFi antenna and on-board wireless card, NVidia graphics with HDMI out, front panel song/title/artist display (so you don't have to have your TV on all the time), 2 capture cards, and HDTV tuner.

The specs of this machine are the following:
- Intel Pentium D 925 (P) 3.0 GHz
- 2.0GB RAM (upgradeable to 4GB RAM)
- 300 GB SATA (3.0 Gb/sec), 7200RPM HDD
- Wireless LAN 802.11 a/b/g (includes antenna)
- nVidia GeForce 7600GS Graphics: HDMI, VGA, Y/Pb/Pr
- Dual TV Capture Cards (HDTV, NTSC, FM Radio)
- Dual Video Capture Cards (Composite and S-Video)
- Integrated High Definition audio, Realtek ALC 888
- 7.1 Channel Analog Pre-Outs, 2 Channel Stereo Out
- Integrated 10/100 Base-T networking interface
- USB Memory Card reader, Front Panel interface
- HP remote control, HP RF wireless keyboard with trackball

The *only* issue with this machine is that the DVD-R/RW drive does not read DVD's anymore. I looked into putting a Blu-ray drive into this, but decided to build a new HTPC instead. As a result, this will need a new DVD-R drive.

Price is $800 + actual shipping. Will throw in lots of cables, accessories, several CDs of LEGAL software (Office/Productivity/Anti-Virus, etc.) and all original manuals and accessories.

Bump... Noone here needs a HTPC?

How about $860 with a Blu-ray drive? This needed its DVD drive replaced anyways...

Price Drop: $750 as-is, without Blu-ray drive. I've verified that the controller on the mobo works by putting a standard DVD-ROM in the unit, so it will come with a Toshiba 16X DVD-ROM as the main optical drive (working). I can upgrade this to a Blu-ray drive also if desired.
