Sony VAIO RC Series
Following up on the successful RA and RB series, the RC series takes
technology and style cues from each. The VAIO VGC-RC110G, is a high-end
Media Center PC that uses the same quiet cooling technology and dual-core
Pentium D processor. The RC110G is a very-well equipped Media Center PC
for people who are moderately familiar with photo or video editing. It may
even appeal to old pros looking for a system with additional storage
options. The RC110G is a black and chrome tower and has a large CPU heat
sink making the system whisper-quiet. Smooth doors hide easily accessible
front panel connectors, keeping the RC110G clean-looking on the outside.
If you're looking for a Media Center that is nicely designed, capable of
handling video and photo editing without slowdowns, and has enough storage
space to please even the most unrelenting video pack rat, the Sony VAIO
VGC-RC110G is a good find.
