Alienware(R), the leading manufacturer of high-performance desktop, notebook, media center, and professional systems, announced the availability of the DHS(TM) 2 Series media center system.

In addition, all of the content from the DHS 2 Series can be shared with other TVs in the home through the use of Microsoft's Media Center Extender devices.

With prices starting at $1,399, the DHS 2 Series can be customized with up to 4 GB of low latency DDR 400 SDRAM and up to 250 GB of storage packed in a low-profile, VCR-size design that seamlessly integrates into any home entertainment area. The DHS 2 Series includes the option of using dual standard definition TV tuners that allow two shows to be recorded at once and optional built in Wireless G technology. Designed to work with your existing equipment, the DHS 2 features standard A/V connectors so you can use the same cables you already own. As an exclusive source of DISCover(R) Console Technology, the DHS 2 Series also introduces the ease of use of video game console style playing into the PC world.

"The DHS 2 Series is designed to be the perfect fit for any home entertainment center," said Robert Lusk, vice president of sales and marketing for Alienware.
