Two New VGX-TP1 media center PCs

Sony is introducing two new VGX-TP1 media center PCs that pack a nice punch and would make a fantastic piece of hardware for those who want more out of their home media room. First comes the VGX-TP1D, a white, 2.1GHz Core 2 Duo T8100 processor, 2GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, GeForce 8400M GT graphics card, integrated WiFi, a dual-layer DVD writer and HDMI / VGA outs, priced at ¥150,000 ($1,392).

The higher end sister model (VGX-TP1DQ / B) steps it up with a black finish, a 500GB hard drive and a Blu-ray burner to boot. Both units also boast four USB 2.0 ports, 4-pin FireWire, a multicard reader, TV tuner and a wireless keyboard at ¥200,000 ($1,856). Currently only in Japan but expect them to hit your nearest Sony Style store soon.
