Pinnacle ShowCenter

Pinnacle ShowCenter

By Dean Evans

Pinnacle's ShowCenter comes in a striking brushed silver box, but despite the living room looks it's essentially an MPEG hardware decoder, and is software-driven.

Why has the multimedia PC not managed to establish themselves as hi-fi equipment, it is the fan noise! As of now there is a silent box, which are videos, music and photos via wireless network or Ethernet from a PC to the next room sau
