Shuttle launches its first AMD-based HD-compatible Mini-PC Complete System. The ready-to-connect aluminium solution can play high-resolution films from both Blu-ray and HD DVD media. A single HDMI cable transfers top image and sound to modern flat-screen televisions for play back, thereby avoiding any expensive installation costs.
