Review of Sony's VAIO R series Media Center PC

PC Mag has a review of Sony's first VAIO R series Media Center PC, a sleek monolithic slab of a desktop that reminds us that Sony still knows how to make us weak in the knees. It'll set you back three grand or so, but the VGC-RA810G has a 3.4GHz processor, 250GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM, a gap in the middle for air cooling the processor (which is also quieter than putting another fan in there), a double-layer, dual-format DVD burner, and an SD memory card slot,
something that's totally shocking given Sony's obsession with pimping the Memory Stick.
