HP Pavilion Blu-Ray Slimline s3330f Desktop / Athlon 64 X2 2.8 GHz / 2 GB DDR/500 GB SATA HD/GeForce 6150SE nForce 430/Blu-ray/HD DVD player & SuperMulti DVD burner LightScribe/Memory Reader/Wireless LAN/TV Tuner/Vista Home Premium/Factory Refurbished $578.99

The HP Pavilion s3330f Slimline desktop PC gives you all the power of a fully loaded home/office desktop in a sleek, silver-and-black chassis that’s one-third the size of a traditional PC tower, enabling you to place it unobtrusively anywhere–from your office to entertainment center to kitchen. This desktop is powered by the 2.8 GHz AMD Athlon 64 X2 5400+ dual-core processor (with a 1 MB L2 cache), which increases the efficiency and speed of the PC while running multiple programs and the latest multi-threaded software.

You won’t have to choose one format over another, thanks to the combination Blu-ray/HD DVD optical drive, which provides stunning high-definition clarity from movie discs. You can also watch, record, and pause live TV programming as well as schedule the PC to record upcoming episodes or entire series. The integrated TV tuner (providing both standard NTSC and high-def ATSC transmission) and Vista Home Premium’s personal video recording (PVR) capabilities let you watch, pause, rewind, and record live television–up to 300 hours on the 500 GB hard drives. And you can easily burn TV shows and home video to DVD for friends and family with the dual-layer, multi-format LightScribe DVD/CD burner (16x for DVDR), which enables you to store up to 8.5 GB of data on a DL disc. LightScribe technology burns custom, silkscreen-quality labels and artwork directly onto LightScribe-enabled discs, right inside the drive. It features a large-and-in-charge 500 GB hard drive, and it includes an open drive bay for an optional HP Pocket Media Drive (which can add up to 160 GB of storage). Other features include 2 GB of installed RAM (maximum), Nvidia GeForce 8500 GT graphics with 256 MB of dedicated video memory, multi-format memory card reader, a wide variety of connectivity options (including both USB 2.0 and FireWire), and digital audio output for home theater surround sound.

Microsoft Windows Vista Home Premium includes all of the Windows Media Center capabilities for turning your PC into an all-in-one home entertainment center. In addition to easily playing your DVD movies and managing your digital audio library, you’ll be able to record and watch your favorite TV shows (even HDTV). Vista also integrates new search tools throughout the operating system, includes new parental control features, and offers new tools that can warn you of impending hardware failures.
