Alienware launches Hangar18 home theater PC

Alienware has launched its Hangar18 line of high end home theater PCs. Looks like we were off a few months on the timing, and about $1000 on the pricing when we first told you about Alienware's newest HTPCs last year.

The Hanger18 machines come loaded with Windows Vista Home Premium, AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual core processores, up to 4GB of DDR2 RAM, and integrated NVIDIA graphics with support for 720p or 1080p HDMI out, as well as VGA, S-Video and analog outputs.

You'll also get a dual analog/HDTV tuner, and support for up to 4 tuners total. The base unit ships with 250GB of storage, but supports a max of 2TB. And of course there's all the usual goodies like 802.11b/g, firewire, and USB support. There's also an integrated 4-in-1 flash memory card reader.

Hangar18 units start at $1999, but you can easily trick this puppy out to eat a much larger chunk of your life's savings.
