piixL EdgeCenter 3770 Flat PC Revealed

Tweet

London-based startup piixL has revealed their first product, the EdgeCenter 3770. The EdgeCenter 3770 is a flat computer, designed to be screwed into the back of a HDTV on the standard VESA mounting format. The EdgeCenter 3770 is only 30mm (1.18 inches) deep, and some of their optional hardware upgrades can give you a surprisingly high-end computer.

As it piggybacks on the VESA mounting interface, you can fit your new EdgeCenter 3770 PC on the back of any flat HDTV in between 37-to-70 inches in size. On the bottom of it, it has enough of the standard audio/visual ports to make it a useful Media Center PC. The Blu-Ray drive and USB ports are on the side of the computer, and that whole section will slide in and out, allowing you to retract it for changing a disk, or plugging it something, then slide it back discreetly behind your TV.

piixL is offering three different starting editions of the EdgeCenter 3770, each customizable with different hardware options. The higher-end two editions actually are decent, and you could play some modern PC games on them. (Core i7-870 CPU, 8GB of DDR3 and ATI Radeon HD 5750 enough for you?) All of this flatness comes at a price – these EdgeCenter 3770s start at £2,490 ($4,049), and just go up from there.
