As the cost of large-screen plasma and LCD TVs goes down, setting up a home theater gets ever easier to afford. Navigating through the maze of set-top boxes for getting music and video to your living room is a chore, and many people have decided to chuck out the dumb boxes in favor of a Home Theater PC (hereafter abbreviated as HTPC). Capitalizing on this trend, Antec has come out with a series of HTPC-related products under the Veris moniker. From top-end HTPC enclosures down to add-on remote/software packages, Antec has the entire range covered, and with style. Today, we'll be looking at a product down near the budget end of the lineup, the Multimedia Station E-Z. Designed for use with laptops, or already-configured desktop systems, the EZ comes with the bare essentials for adding HTPC functionality on the cheap. Is the EZ an A-list performer, or is it destined for direct-to-video obscurity? Let's find out.
