ASRock Core HT HTPC (Sandybridge) Review

The Core HT media pc is supplied in a rather plain looking white box with an image of the product on the front and some specifications along the edge.

The computer is well protected between thick, soft Styrofoam pieces. There is a peripherals box at the side.

Inside, the bundle is relatively extensive. With a power adapter, instructions, software disc, mounting screws, adapter and power cables, and a mat. The unit itself is wrapped with a protective cover to reduce the chances of cosmetic damage during shipping.

ASRock also include a rather nice looking silver media remote for use with Windows.

  1. Wow thats tiny to keep an i5 cool. very impressed with that. CPU cooler is so small……. might be borderline to keep that clean after a year or two. temps get high as it is, brand new. I remember opening my last PC and the CPu cooler was b asically blocked with dust.

  2. That piano black looks brilliant brand new, see after a month? it is a nightmare. my TV is the same, the outter bevel is piano black and its consantlely being cleaned.

  3. Wish they did a version in aluminum, like Apple products, that would be wicked. Id never buy apple for a media center as their OS doesnt support bluray and you need to mod it to Windows and add a player….. useless.

  4. Nice.

    I had an ATOM powered Sapphire system after reading the review here and it sucked. so frigging slow. never touching atom again.

  5. The back I/O is good, but why no DVI? seems bizarre when they have everything there but the kitchen sink

  6. Nice product but you could have compared the gaming performance to … well anything! Also whats with the deal with the 20+ pages for a review that really need be no more than half a dozen? Other than that nice work.
