The Alienware DHS line of computers is now available for your configuration. The system includes all the usual Alienware bells and whistles, and then throws in Windows Media Center Edition and the DISCover technology. For those who aren't aware of DISCover, its more of a patent than an actual device. The tech allows you to install your games to this "den" computer for quick and easy play, when you feel like it. Games load fast, update automatically and, generally, make your HTPC feel more like a console than a PC. It's an interesting idea, but it may run into some problems as Microsoft gears up for the Xbox 2. Some recent reports say the next generation console may be able to play your PC games. If true, the owners of the DISCover patent will definitely demand their day in court.
