SPECIAL OFFER - for a limited period, save £100.00 on the MMC-12 – now only £649.00, normally £749.00

Created for the descerning media centre user, the MMC-12 is the ultimate in HiFi style media centres.

Cut from a single piece of aerospace grade aluminium, and then carefully hand finished to a superb soft textured satin finish – the MMC-12 exudes quality in every way.

• Watch Live TV, pause or skip back (choose your own type and number of tuners)
• Record / playback and schedule record TV shows
• Playback all media files – pictures, music, videos
• Playback CDs, DVDs, and BluRay discs (subject to disc player selected)
• IPTV (ie BBC iPlayer included)
• … and much more.

There are no fans or other active cooling devices to disturb you, the MMC-12 chassis cools the CPU and other chips – resulting in zero noise (even with a 2.5″ spinning HDD fitted, the MMC-12 is silent).

Ideally suited to work with a Windows Home Server (where TV Recordings and other media files are stored). If you need local mass storage, why not consider hooking up to the SU unit, it’s a perfect compliment to the MMC-12 – you can then store huge amounts of data – the SU like the MMC-12 is a beautiful design (it’s almost silent too).
