A few months ago, we reviewed the HMC-2K53A-H2,
a barebones multimedia center PC by Hiper Group. It was a solid product, but
a little rough around the edges, the power supply being the main problem. By
the time the review was posted, however, the H2 was already on its way out.
The HMC-2K53A-A3 we are looking at today is a revised model that utilizes
the exact same enclosure and power supply unit, but with some significant changes.
The new A3 features another MSI motherboard, but this time, it's based on the
newer AMD 690G chipset. The Radeon X1250 IGP allows for HDMI output and improved
video playback capability. Also, an infrared transceiver is now built right
into the front panel, and to compliment this, a Vista-only IR remote control
is included.
Our HMC A3 review sample.
