ASRock Vision 3D

 

Small, stylish, stuffed full of features, connectivity and high-end yet frugal components; the home theatre PC to rule them all has arrived.

The real highlight here though is Nvidia's GT 425M mobile graphics chip. Again it's a low power, low heat mobile part, but should be capable enough for some halfway decent gaming and, more importantly, can output 3D to a compatible screen or television...

Extreme jaw dropping design from ASrock. Well worth checking out if you are in the market for a new, wickedly fast media system.

ASRock ION3D (152B with Bluray) Review featuring Cyberlink

 

Defining a ‘media PC' is a difficult proposition, everyone has a different view on what makes a perfect HTPC computer. Some users will aim for high performance components in a large chassis while others will opt for the smallest possible physical...

KitGuru says: The ASrock ION3D looks great and consumes less power than a light bulb, even when fully loaded. An exceptional product and a great media choice for a living or bedroom environment. For £399 this would be at the top of our shortlist.

ASRock is one of the companies held in high esteem by everyone here at AnandTech. We have been reviewing their HTPC offerings since they first came out their Ion based HTPC last year. After starting out at the low end, they soon moved up to place...

AsRock Vision 3D HTPC Review

 

We find it a bit mind-boggling that home-theater PCs don't generate much interest among mainstream consumers. These machines offer so many features, and most people are already familiar with the Windows interface. Luckily for we enthusiasts,...

Expensive. No TV tuner. Exposed ports on front panel

ASRock Vision 3D 252B HTPC Review

 

When we first took a look at the ASRock Vision 3D 137B with NVIDIA 3DTV Play last year, we were quite impressed with the machine. It offered excellent all-around performance for a system in its class and had an extensive feature set that included...

Great Performance ; Small Form Factor ; Quiet Operation ; Flexible Connectivity Option ; Good Looking

Pricey ; Higher Power Consumption Than Fusion or Atom based HTPCs

The ASRock Vision 3D 252B performed very well throughout our entire battery of tests. Its performance in comparison to the other HTPC and low-power systems we tested was excellent and power consumption was somewhat lower than the previous-gen Vision 3D...

Best home theater PC for 3D TV owners

 

If you own a large collection of 3D-enabled Blu-ray Discs or computer applications -- and a 3D HDTV capable of playing them -- reviewers say the ASRock Vision 3D-137B (*Est. $750) is your best option for a home theater PC. The computer's Intel...

Extensive connectivity options, capable of playing 3D content, blu-ray drive, good performance for a nettop, strong audio capabilities, moderate gaming use

Very expensive for a nettop, no installed operating system

Asrock Vision 3D 252B (Sandy Bridge)

 

Asrock's Vision 3D is the most powerful HTPC we've tested yet, though it's also the most expensive. That said, at $1000 you get the lot, 8GB of RAM, 750GB HDD, Blu-ray combo drive, GeForce GT 540M graphics card and the Core i5-2520M processor. However...

Asrock Vision 3D HTPC

 

If a study was conducted about the frequency of utterance of the word “boredom” over the years, I am quite sure that it has been mentioned less in 2011 compared to any year since recorded history. New “Super Phones” are replacing the Smart Phone of...

Sleek and attractive design ; GT425M GPU with 7.1 HD audio bitstreaming ; Stereo 3D Media Playback and 3D Vision gaming capable ; IR based MCE remote control (with dual CR232 battery included) ; Plenty of USB ports (3 x USB 3.0 and 5 x USB 2.0 ports) ;...

Fan gets very loud at CPU intensive tasks, like encoding or heavily CPU dependent games ; Clearance for extra 2.5" drive is very small ; Price

Although there is space to attach an additional drive on the motherboard, looking at the drive mounting plate begs the question, how and where can you exactly add this drive? The clearance is very narrow and the bottom drive has to be screwed in place...
