Within a sleek black chassis, IBM's A60i consumer PC is actually being designed around the latest All-in-Wonder card from ATI Technologies Inc. (stock: ATYT). The card boasts the sort of video storing capabilities offered by TiVo Inc. (stock: TIVO) and ReplayTV Inc., as well as a free GuidePlus channel guide. Video can be stored in either a 45- or 75-gigabyte hard drive, offering up to 100 hours of VCR-quality video, and then transferred to an optional 9.4-Gbyte DVD-RAM drive. While some homeowners may not tolerate a PC in the living room, IBM will likely bundle a $60 peripheral that allows the video -- stored on the PC -- to communicate wirelessly to a TV a short distance away, Rasa said. "This is the year of IBM's direct-sales website," he said. "We'll likely offer that capability pretty soon." IBM is touting the A60i as highly expandable, featuring either the 1.4-or 1.5-GHz Intel Pentium 4 processor. Rasa said the systems were still undergoing final testing, to ensure no last-minute problems occurred. techweb.com
