Asus has a new HTPC that resembles an Xbox 360

Call me crazy, but this “computer” or Asus Essentio PC, looks similar to an Xbox 360.  The sides are even rounded and protrude out like the 360.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s a cool looking unit and I wouldn’t mind it being part of my Home Theatre arsenal.  Especially when looking at the specs!  But I just hope it doesn’t suffer the same fate as the Xbox 360’s frying with the Red Ring of Death, yikes. 

Anyways, this hot little number will have a Bluray drive onboard, 1080p HDMI out, 7.1 Surround Sound, 802.11n WiFi, 250GB-1TB Hard Drive, Nvidia 8600M GT Video, Gigabit Ethernet, Bluetooth 2.0+EDR capability, and a whisper quiet 23.9dB operation.  Warm fuzzy feelings are optional.
