ASRock might not be a name that you’ll even have a look at when you’re shopping for some HTPC. These days’ people are either getting the Apple TV, Mac Mini, Shuffles, Zotac, Asus, or even the Western Digital media player. But you’d be wrong for skipping the ASRock’s latest offering, called the 3D Vision HTPC. It scored a 100-percent mark on Anandtech’s Media Streamer Test Suite.

It’s quite, it’s powerful, and it’s even capable of playing your online Full HD videos with hardware acceleration on. Check out Anand’s full review of this baby.
